The regulation requires the extending of channels for investing and financing, and achieving expanding employment and entrepreneurship.
A system will be formed to recognize the skill of caregivers and provide them with more education and training opportunities, it said.
It also demanded the protection of the elderly rights and interests, while dealing with illegal fund-raising in the elderly care sector.
Efforts should be made to advance high-quality elderly care and improve elderly care facilities, it added. |
