老龄社会背景下开展老年思想政治教育的意义和路径探索
Exploring the Meaning and Path of Ideological and Political Education for the Elderly in the Context of Aging Society

在经济飞速发展、医疗水平不断提高的新时代，我国的老年人口持续增长，人口老龄化问题也随之愈发严重，由此引发了一系列的社会矛盾。很多老人由于自身社会地位的降低、家人陪伴太少、长期缺乏与人沟通等，心理健康出现了很大的问题。因此，对老年人进行思想政治教育不仅可以缓解他们的心理问题，也能够进一步提高他们的思想政治素质，这对于老人自身进步、家庭和睦、社会和谐有着很大的现实价值。本文针对现阶段我国老年思想政治工作出现的一些问题，从教育方法、教育内容、教育制度体系等方面进行了创新性的思考。
In the new era of rapid economic development and continuous improvement of medical standards, China’s elderly population continues to grow, and the problem of population aging is becoming more and more serious, which has caused a series of social contradictions. Many elderly people have great mental health problems due to their reduced social status, too little family companionship, and long-term lack of communication with others. Therefore, ideological and political education for the elderly can not only alleviate their psychological problems, but also further improve their ideological and political quality, which is of great practical value to the elderly’s own progress, family harmony, and social harmony. In view of some problems in the ideological and political work of the elderly in China at the present stage, this paper makes innovative thinking from the aspects of educational methods, educational contents, and educational systems.
