在老年人群备受关注的今天,老年妇女问题尤为突出。国际上有“老龄问题的实质和核心是女老年问题”的说法。全国妇联妇女研究所研究员、副所长刘伯红说,在世界各国,人的寿命都有增长趋势,其中一个明显的事实就是,妇女的平均寿命高于男子,在老龄人口中妇女占多数。全国妇联经过多年的调查研究,已将老年妇女列入我国弱势群体的行列。 The issue of elderly women is particularly prominent today, where the elderly are of great concern. Internationally, there is a saying that “the essence and core of the issue of aging is the problem of the elderly.” Liu Bohong, a researcher and deputy director of the Women’s Institute of the All-China Women’s Federation, said that life expectancy has been on the increase in all countries in the world. One of the obvious facts is that the average life expectancy of women is higher than that of men and the majority of the elderly are women. Through years of investigation and study, the All China Women’s Federation has included elderly women in the ranks of China’s disadvantaged groups.
