Coordination of Village Community and New Endogenous Development of Rural Elderly Service:Process and Mechanism Based on the Field Investigation of S Village in Soutern Fujian
As an important interactive carrier between farmers and collectives,the supply of public services is an important part of village community management.Based on the field investigation of S vil-lage in southern Fujian and the theory of new endogenous development,this paper puts forward an anal-ysis framework of the supply of elderly care services as a whole by villages communities,and discusses the driving logic of the new endogenous development of rural elderly care services.It is found that the village collective is the core of integrating multiple entities,which is reflected in the overall planning of guiding the rich groups to invest,assisting the market institutions,winning the support of governments,and organizing the elderly groups.The internal logical expression of village community's overall planning of multi-entity co-production and elderly service is village community's power activation and capacity construction.Benefiting from the catalysis of the external policy environment,the village com-munity forms the main driving force for the innovation of the elderly service model based on the needs of the elderly and the pressure of the community elite.On this basis,the village community has realized the integration of entity structure,resource structure,rule structure through the triple mechanism of organi-zation,network connection and institutional empowerment,thus improving its overall development abili-ty.The new endogenous development of the elderly care service coordinated by villages communities has produced economic and social benefits,which provides a political reference for exploring the elderly care service model that conforms to the people's feelings in rural areas.
