Implementing the idea of active ageing is an important basis for systematically promoting the national strategy of proactive response to population ageing. China has gradually developed a framework of active ageing policy with the healthy ageing, the productive ageing and the smart ageing as its basic dimensions. The implementation of concrete policies depends on the leading, promoting and guaranteeing roles of the rule of law. To realize the healthy ageing, it is necessary to guarantee the right to health of the elderly, enhance their intrinsic capacity and create an age-friendly environment by means of the rule of law. The advancement of the productive ageing requires the government to rely on the rule of law methods to promote the transformation of social attitudes, encourage and lead various stakeholders to adopt and implement relevant action plans, coordinate them in the allocation of social resources, and adjust the interest relationships among social groups of different ages. The smart ageing, which aims to ensure healthy and productive ageing through capacity-building and empowerment, requires the state to adopt legislation to guide the development of technology for social good, bridge the digital divide, and protect the right to personal information and the right to privacy of the elderly. |
