中國老年人政策進步指數發佈 浙江北京上海幸福感居前三

East China's Zhejiang Province has topped the index which measures the progressiveness of policies for senior citizens.

據報道，位於中國東部的浙江省的"中國老年人政策進步指數"最高。

The index released by Beijing Normal University and the Zhihui Pension Industry Institute evaluates not only the social and welfare provision for the elderly, but also measures their health, province by province.

近日，北京師範大學與智睿養老產業研究院聯合發佈"中國老年人政策進步指數"，該指數評估的不止是各省老年人社會服務、福利待遇，還包括健康等指標。

Among the 31 targeted provinces and cities, seven of the top ten come from east China, with Beijing and Shanghai as No 2 and 3 behind Zhejiang.

在全國31個接受評估的省市當中，前十名中，東部地區佔了七個，北京、上海位列二、三位。

The figures show Beijing subsidizes those over 80, and the seriously disabled aged between 60 and 79, to the tune of 100 yuan, or 16 $US, every month. The capital has been offering the highest amount of social relief funds for residents in its rural areas.

數據顯示，北京對超過80歲、或是60歲到79歲之間嚴重殘疾者，每個月的補貼達到了100元（摺合16美元）。此外，北京市對農村居民也提供了最高數額的社會救助福利。

The research also tries to predict how policies and services for the elderly will develop. Researchers said raising minimum living allowances and basic retirement pension will optimize the policy's environment.

這項研究還針對老年人的政策和服務將如何發展進行了預測。 研究人員表示，最低生活保障金和基本養老金的提高將會優化相關的政策環境。
