湖南省养老服务业发展:困境与破解

The Development of Old-age Care Service Industry in Hunan Province:Dilemma and Its Solutions

湖南省老年人口规模迅速膨胀,高龄、空巢现象日益严重,养老服务潜在需求旺盛。但是,有效需求和供给不足。养老服务支付能力不足、行业标准缺失、长期护理服务和专业护理人员欠缺、投资运营效率不高诸多因素严重制约着目前湖南养老服务业的发展。因此,面对发展困境,我们应从提高老年人收入水平、完善行业标准、构建长期护理保险制度以及提高养老服务业的市场化程度等方面来寻求突破口。

In Hunan province, the potential demand of old-age care service is increasingly growing due to the elderly population scale expanded rapidly and serious phenomena of older age, empty nest of people. However, in fact, effective demand and supply are insufficient. Many factors seriously restrict the development of old-age care service industry, such as lacking of the ability to pay pension services, industry standards, long-term care services and professional nurses and the low efficiency of investment operating. Therefore, faced with a dilemma, we should improve the level of income in the elderly, improve industry standards, build long-term care insurance system, and increase the degree of marketization for old-age care services in order to boost the development of old-age service industry.
