Study On Supporting Demand And System Structuring Of Socialized Service For The Elderly Inhabiting At Home In Rural Area

Population aging has been a great matter to China in the 21^st century. Whether the aging problem can be settled properly or not has a direct impact on the sustainable development of the society and economy, as well as the realization of "the scientific outlook on development" and the construction of "wealthy society".Compared with city, the problem of population aging is much more serious in country. Owing to the influence of "one-child" policy, urbanization, the aged tendency of population structure is more and more prominent, and the family members become less, which are undermining the function of the traditional family-care system in rural area. Under the above situations, socialized service is required. However, as is known that organization care is hard to meet the demand of the elderly neither in the aspect of quantity nor of quality. In addition, due to the low income level and the traditional concept of "living at home when aged", it is not realistic to structure the model mainly based on the organization care in rural area. Therefore, developing the socialized service system of home-inhabited care comes out as a must choice.The paper focuses its research vision on aged service other than economic security for the elderly like others'. This thesis systematically analyzes the concrete supporting demand of socialized service for the elderly inhabiting at home in rural area, illustrates the importance of socialized service of home-inhabited care, and at the end draws a system framework of how to develop the socialized service of home-inhabited care, which have crucial realistic and academic meaning. The paper falls into six sections.Partâ… : Introduction. This part introduces the issues, research review, goal and ways of the research, research ideas and analysis framework.Partâ…¡: Status-quo and challenge of home-inhabited care in rural area. This part illustrates the status-quo and problems of home-inhabited care development, more importantly concludes four challenges which home-inhabited care development are facing. Based on the above analysis, socialized home-inhabited care naturally becomes a realistic choice.Partâ…¢: Analysis of supporting demand of socialized service of home-inhabited care in rural area: based on the survey in Xiamen countryside. Taking the result of a survey conducted in Xiamen countryside as the basic data, this part analyzes the concrete supporting demand of socialized service for the elderly inhabiting at home, the demand mainly includes economic security, care need, medical service and relaxation.Partâ…£: Experience and inspiration from the development of home-inhabited care service at home and abroad. Despite the conditions of our country particularly the rural area are quite different from that of foreign countries, the experience of how to develop community care is partially useful for reference.Partâ…¤: Structuring the socialized service system of home-inhabited care in rural area. This section is the key part of the paper, which illustrates how to structure the socialized service system of home-inhabited care. Firstly, it designs a system framework which integrates the resources from government, community, family, market, and so on. Secondly, it analyzes the responsibility of each participant. Thirdly, it demonstrates that the system should have varied levels and meet different wants of the elderly. And at the end, it argues some issues that should be paid attention to when structuring the system.Partâ…¥: Conclusion and Discussion. As the last part of the paper, this section concludes the most vital views and also points out the deficiencies of the research.
