let the reform achievement benefit all the people more fairly

keep moving forward to achieve common prosperity for all the people. We will strengthen the construction of the social security system

and build a multi-tiered social security system covering all people

urban and rural areas

clear rights and responsibilities

and ensure a moderate and sustainable social security system. At present

which bring the elderly endowment inconvenience. In recent years

several provinces and cities in our country have given guidance for the old multi-storey residential buildings to add elevators

but overall progress is not smooth. The author proposes some thinking and suggestions from the sociology

in order to provide certain reference.
