The Path of Social Security in Promoting Common Prosperity for Low-Income Elderly Groups in Rural Areas of the Western Region

Abstract

Common prosperity is an essential requirement of socialism, and a sound social security system is an important institutional guarantee for achieving common prosperity. In the process of advancing towards common prosperity, low-income elderly groups in rural areas of China's western regions face practical difficulties such as insufficient pension income, poor health conditions, and limited accessibility to elderly health services. These groups are the key objects that need focused assistance and protection. By innovating social security policies, such as enhancing the "land-based pension" system, increasing pension levels, expanding the scope of assistance, and strengthening the supply of elderly care services for those in difficult circumstances, the aim is to promote the realization of common prosperity for low-income elderly groups in rural areas of the western regions.
