The Ministry of Civil Affairs recently released the "15th FiveYear Plan for the Development of Civil Affairs," making a systematic arrangement for civil affairs work over the next five years, with a focus on highquality development, livelihood保障, and reform and innovation. The plan proposes that by 2030, the systems for Party building, policies and institutions, service保障, supervision and management, and social participation in the civil affairs sector will be further improved, and the levels of elderly care services, social assistance, social welfare, civil affairs, and social governance will continue to rise. The plan also sets out a number of quantitative targets, including increasing the share of nursing beds in elderly care institutions, expanding the coverage of elderly care services in counties, townships, and villages, raising the social participation rate of older adults, and ensuring that the basic living保障 for groups such as persons with disabilities in困难 circumstances, orphans, and children left without care in fact remains fully covered. In areas such as actively responding to population aging, improving the social assistance system, optimizing marriage customs and funeral and burial management, and strengthening the governance of social organizations, the plan has laid out more than 30 key tasks and 9 major projects, and requires strengthening policy coordination and implementation mechanisms to drive the fulfillment of these tasks.
