“I am making suggestions for the government work report”: Some netizens call for attention to the housing problems of the “floating elderly”

“@The State Council I Provide Suggestions for the Government Work Report” The netizen suggestion collection activity is ongoing. Since the new year, many netizens have made suggestions through online platforms such as The Paper.
Some netizens asked whether public housing could be rented to “old floaters” without houses. These “old floaters” cannot afford to buy houses in their children’s cities, but homeowners are reluctant to rent to the elderly. “One-child families want to live close to their children for the purpose of taking care of them.”
Some netizens are concerned about rural construction and hope that the government will guide some enterprises to build factories in rural areas, enrich the spiritual needs of the masses, and improve the level of rural teachers.
Some netizens also called for attention to issues arising from the implementation of a cooling-off period for divorce, such as increasing the time cost of divorce.
Population issues continue to be a focus. In the view of some netizens, incentive measures should be combined in the long and short term to encourage people to have children, such as tax reduction proportional to the number of children in the short term and linking pension funds after retirement to the number of children.
