　　The changes of the traditional family elderly care model in modern Shanghai

　　In modern Shanghai, the traditional family elderly care model is undergoing profound changes爱上海官网. In the past, the family was regarded as the main support for the elderly, and children had the responsibility to support their elderly parents. Elders in the family were highly respected and cared for爱上海龙凤419. However, with the development of the social economy, the acceleration of urbanization, and the change of cultural concepts, this traditional model is facing challenges. First, urbanization has brought about population mobility and changes in family structure. Many young people flock to cities in pursuit of better job opportunities and living conditions, while the elderly and children remain in the countryside. This population migration makes it impossible to maintain the traditional family elderly care model, and many elderly people have to live alone, lacking necessary care and support. In addition, the fast pace of urban life and the increased work pressure on young people have also reduced the frequency of visiting their elderly parents, leading to emotional loneliness among the elderly. Second, the change of social values is also an important factor affecting the traditional family elderly care. In modern society, individualism is gradually rising, and many young people begin to pay more attention to their own lifestyles and career development, investing time and energy in their personal future rather than family responsibilities. This change has weakened the traditional respect and care for the elderly, and gradually formed the cultural concept of ‘the elderly should take care of themselves’. Many families are beginning to turn to social support systems to solve the problem of elderly care. Although the traditional family elderly care model is changing, in Shanghai, there are still some positive responses. In the city, community elderly care services are gradually emerging, and some non-governmental organizations and enterprises are beginning to provide professional elderly care services, such as day care centers, home care, etc., to meet the growing needs of the elderly. In addition, efforts are also being made to promote the development of the social security system, through legislation and policy support, to ensure the basic living and medical needs of the elderly. In summary, the traditional family elderly care model in modern Shanghai is facing severe challenges, but the exploration and practice of new elderly care models also show hope. By combining tradition and modernity, with the help of social forces, the future elderly care services are expected to be more diversified and humanized, thus better meeting the needs of the elderly and improving their quality of life. However, achieving this goal requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society and the continuous attention and protection of the elderly’s interests.
