随着社会经济和现代医学的不断发展，我国人均寿命逐渐延长。根据联合国教科文组织对于人口老龄化的划分标准，我国现已进入人口老龄化时代。养老问题也已成为一个日益突出的社会性问题。文化养老是一种能体现传统文化与当代人文关怀的养老方式，如何在保障老年人物质生活需求的同时，满足他们的精神文化需求是一个亟待解决的问题。在《中共中央国务院关于加强新时代老龄工作的意见》中，就明确提出了要扩大老年教育资源供给，支持社会力量举办老年大学(学校)。推进老年大学高质量发展成为必然趋势。但如今老年大学还存在着管理政策不完善、经费投入不足、基础设施薄弱、师资短缺等诸多问题。对此，本文将围绕这些问题，提出相关优化路径，以期能够为推进文化养老的发展做出绵薄之力。
With the continuous development of social economy and modern medicine, the average lifespan in China has been gradually increasing. According to the classification criteria for population aging of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), China has now entered an era of population aging. The issue of elderly care has become an increasingly prominent social problem. Cultural elderly care is a way that embodies traditional culture and contemporary humanistic care, how to meet the spiritual and cultural needs of the elderly while ensuring their material needs is an urgent problem to be solved. The “Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Strengthening Aging Work in the New Era” clearly proposes the expansion of the supply of educational resources for the elderly and supports the establishment of universities (schools) for the elderly by social forces. The high-quality development of universities for the elderly has become an inevitable trend. However, these universities for the elderly currently face several problems, such as imperfect management policies, insufficient funding, weak infrastructure, and a shortage of qualified teachers. In this regard, this paper focuses on these issues and proposes optimization paths, hoping to contribute to the advancement of cultural elderly care.
