Research On The Willingness And Influencing Factors Of Institutional Care For The Elderly In Rural Area

At present,with the increasing trend and process of the ageing of population in China,the family structure and demographic structure in China are also undergoing great changes.There is a big gap between the needs of the rural elderly to enjoy a good life in old age and the endowment resources that the family can provide,and the problem of rural endowment is becoming more and more prominent.To a certain extent,institutional pension can effectively alleviate the weakening function of family pension,relieve the burden and pressure of pension.However,there is still a long way to go for the development of rural institutional pension.From the perspective of the operation of rural institutional pension,there is a “dislocation” phenomenon between the supply and demand of institutional pension.In the report of the 20 th National Congress of the CPC,it emphasized to “implementing a national strategy to actively address population ageing,and continue to make efforts to support the elderly”.Therefore,it is of great significance to systematically study the willingness and influence factors of rural institutions for the elderly,which can help explore the future development direction of rural institutions for the elderly and promote the realization of the goal of “supporting the elderly” in rural areas.Under the background of continuous economic and social development and transformation,this study aims to comprehensively explore and understand the current situation and influencing factors of institutional pension willingness of the rural elderly.On this basis,according to the empirical research results,this study puts forward policy suggestions,in order to provide useful references for exploring the sustainable and healthy development direction of institutional pension in rural areas,relieving the problems of rural pension and improving the quality of rural elderly pension.This paper takes the 2018 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey(CLASS)data as the research data source,and adopts descriptive statistics,correlation analysis and Logistic regression analysis methods to conduct a comprehensive exploration and analysis of the willingness of the rural elderly to care for the aged in institutions and its influencing factors from five aspects: propensity factors,promoting factors,need factors,community factors and cognitive factors.The study found that,in terms of institutional pension intention,the rural elderly are not strong,and the proportion of people who are not willing to choose institutional pension accounts for the vast majority,and there is a large gap in institutional pension intention.From the perspective of influencing factors,the intention of institutional care for the elderly in rural areas is affected by multiple factors,such as health status,number of living children,understanding of nursing homes,awareness of raising children and old age.Among them,individual and family characteristics are the main factors affecting institutional endowment intention,and community endowment service and old-age institution factors have a significant impact on institutional endowment intention.Based on this,rural institutional pension should strengthen publicity and promotion,improve the attention and recognition of institutional pension;Improve community services,reduce the pressure of institutional pension;Attaching importance to the needs of the elderly and improving institutional services for the elderly.Through these policy suggestions,it is hoped to continuously promote the sustainable and healthy development of institutional pension services in rural areas,break through the “nerve endings” of institutional pension services in rural areas,and further promote the realization of the goal of “providing for the elderly” in rural areas.
