ABSTRACT

As the global population ages, the aging society faces unprecedented challenges, especially in terms of demand and supply of social services. Aging not only means a change in the population structure, but also puts forward new requirements for social economy, health care, elderly care services, community support and other fields. This paper first introduces the background of the aging society and the challenges it currently faces, and then reviews the research results of relevant scholars and points out their shortcomings. Subsequently, this paper adopts a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, and through designing experiments, collects and analyzes the current status of service demand and supply in the aging society. The experimental results show that the demand for social services in an aging society is showing a diversified trend, and the service coverage can reach up to 93%. However, there are large differences in service resources between urban and rural areas, and within urban and rural areas, which requires further optimization of resource allocation.
