China has the largest population of the old around the world. Theprediction of population shows that the age construction of population inChina is experiencing a revolutionary transition.In the next severaldecades,the type of the age structure of population in China is not only thedevelopment of the type of the old,but the trend to the development of thetype of the elder.With the promotion of the process ofindustrialization,urbanization and modernization,the mode of the traditionalextended family is being replaced increasingly by the mode of plural nuclearfamily. Especially the aging population with few children,the aging ofpopulation and the feminization of aging population are developingobviously,which leads to the Empty nest.The increasing number of emptynesters will bring out many issues in family and society. In family, I.Insociety, it will lead to the lose of morality,which influences the developmentof social harmony.The Research on the aged care services of empty nestersembodies the issue of people’s wellbeing in China.To make sure that the oldcan enjoy a happy life in the rest of their lives has theoretical meaning to theenforcement of the work of people’s wellbeing in China.There are a large number of research and experiences on home-basedcare services both in China and other countries with different perspectiveworthy to be reference. In2007, the national population aging office issuedThe Tracing Survey on Population Condition of The Old in Urban and RuralAreas,showing that the proportion of empty–nester families in2030. Untilthen, the empty-nester families will be witnessed everywhere.OnFebruary,28th in2006, the meeting on population aging was held and the statecouncil also pointed out that to explore the innovation of the system and mechanism on the industry of the aged care services and to quicken the stepsof the system construction of the aged care services taking the communityaged care as the basis, taking community services as the support and takingthe organization retirement as the supplement.Britain,which stepped intoaging society ahead of schedule relatively,adopts the mode of communityaged care.Singapore implements the Central Privadent Fund System.Germanyhas sound the aged care services and the old postpone the age of retirement.The traditional mode of the aged care services in China can besummarized as “feedback mode”.In the background of present society,“feedback mode” is stricken and “relay mode”of the western countries is notfit for the national condition in China.Considering all the mentioned above,“sub-feedback mode” was put forward by the scholars in China.With the premise mentioned above,this research aimed at the real livingcondition of empty nesters in Huhehaote,Inner Mongolia,combining the fourmajor modes of the aged care which are family endowment,community agedcare,home-based care and organization retirement.I stepped into thecommunities,service centers for the old,the organizations of the aged care andthe houses of empty nesters to investigate in person.Throughobservation,deepened interview,case research and analysis of compare, Isummarized the living condition,existence problems and the analysis of theproblems of empty nesters in city.The empty nesters in Huhehaote aresuffering chronic distinctively.As the lack of the ability of economicsafeguard and the distinguish relations of different parents and theirchildren,most empty nesters in city prefer family endowment and communityaged care to home-based care and organization retirement.Therefore,the oldare unwilling to live in the organizations of the aged care.However,theseparation of living from their children lead to many problems like the lack ofcare resource and the hollow in minds.These problems can be traced back inmany reasons.First of all, the large population in China leads to the increasingnumber of the old.Secondly,China lacks relative legislation and laws.Thirdly,the development of the four modes has flaws respectively.In addition,it lies in the contradiction between the traditional concepts of home-based care anddramatic environment of society.The complex of all the factors strengthenedthe difficulty of the aged care of empty nesters in city.
