Construction and Empirical Analysis of the Evaluation Index System for Family Elderly Care Ability
The ability of family elderly care is related to the demand and development of social elderly care services,and there is an urgent need to build a scientific and effective evaluation index system for family elderly care ability.Us-ing the CHARLS 2018 survey data,a comprehensive evaluation index system for family elderly care capacity was con-structed,consisting of three criteria indicators:self-care ability,spouse elderly care ability,and children elderly care ability.There were a total of 9 sub criteria indicators and 17 observation indicators.The entropy weight method and complex correlation coefficient method were used to determine the weight of the indicators.U-test,H-test and Spatial Correlation were used to analyze the group characteristics of family elderly care capacity distribution.The results showed that the weight coefficients of children's elderly care ability,self elderly care ability,and spouse elderly care ability were 0.5552,0.2880,and 0.1570,respectively.The average score of family elderly care ability was 0.433±0.091,and the scores of child elderly care ability,self elderly care ability,and spouse elderly care ability dimension were 0.121±0.056,0.066±0.019,and 0.245±0.069,respectively,all showing a right skewed distribution.The chil-dren's ability to provide for the aged lose the most points in the dimension of their ability to provide for the aged,and the difference in the dimension of their own ability to provide for the aged was the largest.The family elderly care capac-ity of women,rural and western elderly areas was significantly weaker than that of men,urban and eastern elderly areas.The elderly in the younger age group had significantly higher self-care ability and spouse care ability,but their chil-dren's care ability was also significantly lower than that of the elderly in the older age group.The top three provinces in China's family elderly care capacity were Shanghai,Beijing,and Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region,while Yunnan Province,Gansu Province,and Anhui Province rank last.Research suggests that the overall score of family elderly care ability in China is not high,and there is a"complementary"trend between self elderly care ability and children's elder-ly care ability.The distribution of family elderly care capacity shows gender,urban-rural,and regional differences.The elderly care service system in China needs to be based on the current family elderly care capacity and regional differ-ences in its dimensions,and develop according to local conditions.
