The number of older women are increasing more rapidly and it is estimated that by 2050, the number of elderly women over 60 years old will be 3.2 times that of 2000. Moreover, the number and rate of elderly women in cities where widowed life alone has increased. The study pays attention to the fragile and vulnerable group of urban elderly women. Hence, the purpose of the study to suggest psychological adjustment and guidance for ageing urban women. The study suggests that by adopting protective policies and measures in a targeted manner this problem can be resolved. It is not only a critical responsibility of the state and the government, but also the social responsibility of all sectors of society, including enterprises and non-profit sectors of society, and even every ordinary citizen to support the elderly women for making their rest of lives happier and enjoyable.
老年女性的数量增长更为迅速,据估计,到2050年,60岁以上老年女性的数量将是2000年的3.2倍。此外,在城市中独自寡居生活的老年女性数量和比例有所增加。该研究关注城市老年女性这一脆弱群体。因此,该研究的目的是为老龄化的城市女性提供心理调适和指导。研究表明,通过有针对性地采取保护政策和措施,这个问题可以得到解决。支持老年女性让她们的余生更幸福愉快,这不仅是国家和政府的一项关键责任,也是包括企业和社会非营利部门在内的社会各界的社会责任,甚至是每一位普通公民的社会责任。
