Abstract

The aging of the population has become an escalating problem in China. This article is based on the background of aging population, focusing on the issue of elderly care security. A field investigation was conducted on the income level and satisfaction, elderly care willingness, elderly care mode, awareness and understanding of elderly care institutions, community elderly care services, elderly care service needs, and intelligent old-age care awareness of urban elderly people in Tianjin. Through questionnaire surveys, this article found that there are problems such as low income from pension, low recognition of institutional pension, imbalance between supply and demand of social pension, difficulties in adapting old residential areas to the elderly, and low penetration rate of intelligent pension. Then, the article proposes the following countermeasures: improving the multi-level elderly care security system, innovating the community elderly care model, enriching the content of elderly care services, achieving supply and demand docking, developing elderly care volunteer services, attracting various volunteers to join elderly care volunteer services, strengthening financial investment, highlighting community guidance, actively attracting social forces to participate in the aging friendly renovation of old residential areas, increasing the construction of intelligent elderly care services, and providing high-quality elderly care services.
