A Study On The Relationships Of Supply-demand In Treat-care Integration Pension Service In Nantong City

With the process of marketization of old-age care service in China,the implementation effect of “Treat-Care Integration”,a new pension service model,is also affected by the relationship between supply and demand.To promote the development and practice of “Treat-Care Integration” and deal with the realistic demand of aging and disability in China,also to enrich the perspective of the research on Treat-Care Combination,this dissertation selects Nantong city as a case,which confronts severe old-aging and incapacitation problem but with early practice and adequate financial support.On the basis of field research,this dissertation uses Welfare Pluralism Theory,Public Product Theory and Marx’s Supply-Demand Theory as tools to analyze the relationships in supply and demand of Treat-Care Integration in this city,combing text analysis,case analysis,interviews and other research methods.Based on the separation of the roles of the suppliers,this dissertation analyzes the complex supply-demand relationships in the Treat-Care Integration pension service market in Nantong,including the bidirectional supply-demand relationships between supply parties and the unidirectional supply-demand relationships between supply parties and demand parties.This dissertation believes the bidirectional supply-demand relationships between the supply parties due to the difference in resource endowment is the basis for the cooperation between various parties,and analyzes the specific cooperation models between the government and service institutions,and between the government and insurance companies byusing the classification of PPP model.Meanwhile,there is also a certain degree of cooperative relationships between different departments within each supply party.However,the distinctions in the nature,positioning and interest orientation of each supplier determine the inevitable existence of competition.Even within the same supplier there are still prevarication,competition and contradiction by reason of the disparity in management style and cognition level or the similarity in business settings.Thereout,this dissertation proposes that the different game behaviors of each supply party will influence the supply process,supply efficiency and the relationships between the supply and demand parties: cooperation and benign competition can promote the improvement of service quality and the balance between supply and demand,while vicious competition will affect the supply of services and aggravate the existing imbalance.Based on the above analysis,this dissertation analyzes the relationship between the supply and demand in Nantong and puts forward that the relationship is in a state of both partial equilibrium and disequilibrium.The partial equilibrium is mainly reflected in the matches between supply mode and demand stage,economic subsidy and service price.And the disequilibrium manifests in the imbalance of quantity and structure between supply and demand,as well as the mutual relations such as responsibility,trust and supervision.The specific contents are as follows.First,the supply of policies,systems,service personnel,beds and other facilities in the city is seriously insufficient,and the aging and incapacitation trends continue.If the growth rate of supply fails to keep pace with the growth rate of demand,the existing quantity contradiction will be further expanded in the future.Secondly,there is a certain degree of structural imbalance relationships between service supply mode and demand structure,supply homogeneity and demand differentiation,supply target and demand structure.Besides,although the relationships of responsibility,trust and supervision does not directly determine the quantity and structure of supply,it will have an impact on the implementation process and final quality of supply from the side,and ultimately aggravate the imbalance between supply and demand.
