所谓社会福利机构,是指国家、社会组织和个人举办的,为老年人、残疾人、孤儿和弃婴提供养护、康复、托管等服务的机构。 改革开放以来,我国社会福利事业稳步发展,成就斐然。截至2002年底,全国城乡各种福利机构已达4.0万个;床位125.1万张,比上年增长0.4％;收养92.6万人,比上年增长3.4％。这些数据充分表明,我国社会福利机构的壮大为社会福利社会化格局的形成奠定了坚实的基础。 The so-called social welfare agencies refer to organizations organized by the state, social organizations and individuals to provide services such as maintenance, rehabilitation and custody for the elderly, the disabled, orphans and abandoned babies. Since the reform and opening up, the cause of social welfare in our country has been developing steadily with remarkable success. By the end of 2002, the number of welfare institutions in urban and rural areas nationwide reached 40,000, with 1.251 million beds, an increase of 0.4% over the previous year; 926,000 people, an increase of 3.4% over the previous year. These data fully show that the growth of China’s social welfare institutions has laid a solid foundation for the formation of a socialized social welfare pattern.
