Abstract: In recent years, China’s population has a low fertility rate, an aging population and a continuous weakening of family support functions. The pension service industry has become a common requirement for maintaining the life quality of the elderly and relieving the care pressure of their family members. For a long time, home-based pensions, community-based pensions and institutional pensions have been regarded as three major modes of care for the elderly in China. However, the supply-side of pension services in China has the misunderstanding of emphasis institutional pensions and light home-based pensions, and it does not pay enough attention and utilization to the role of the community care service platform. In this regard, from the perspective of management research, we should change our thinking. Focus on the development of a comprehensive pension service system which based on community and service at home; focus on building a community home-based pension service platform; establish a unified evaluation system for care needs of the elderly; adjust the functional orientation of the elderly care service institutions; and reform the establishment of the four major elements of the medical and health service system for the elderly. The effective development of community home-based pensions for the elderly needs to play a role in three aspects: financial security, technical support, and manpower development.

Abstract: The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of the government. This will be expressed in a periodic and transparent election which shall be by equal suffrage and held by secret vote. Through this, the pace of socio-economic and human development of a country is accelerated alongside the strengthening of the democratic process and Bangladesh is not so far from this process of democracy. To sustain the democratic process of Bangladesh it was a challenge for the ruling Awami League to conduct the 11th parliamentary election under constitutional law because of the non-cooperation of the opposition. But Awami League overcame that challenges and it was a landslide win which was largely attributed to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s dynamic leadership, her humility and the people’s rejection of anti-liberation forces. Majority of the people of Bangladesh, with the spirit of liberation war, wanted to see “Sonar Bangla” a long-cherished dream of the Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and it was reflected in the results of election.

Abstract: This paper explains the political discourse shifts made by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahemed’s April, 2, 2018 inaugural speech. P.M. Abiy`s inaugural speech is the text for this study analysis to extract the political and ideological discourse shifts observed in his speech. Mainly the analysis is done qualitatively through explaining a few excerpts of the inaugural speech. To substantiate the qualitative analysis, key word quantitative analysis is also applied. The analysis results show that Prime Minister Abiy made significant shifts of political discourse from his predecessors and Tigray People Liberation Front lead Ethiopian People Revolutionary Democratic Front (TPLF/EPRDF). The discourse shifts are observed in representing Ethiopian history, defining identity, and interpretation of pluralism in Ethiopia. For instance, P.M. Abiy portrays Ethiopia as a country of citizens whose identity is inseparable where as TPLF/EPRDF portrays Ethiopia as a country of nation nationalities whose identity is the sum total of different identities; the P.M claims for “Ethiopia first” rhetoric where as TPLF/EPRDF claims for “my ethnic first” rhetoric; P.M. Abiy aspires for a country of ideas but, TPLF/EPRDF has worked for a country of identities.
