城市老年人参与社区志愿服务活动路径研究——基于天津的实证研究

A Research on the Path of Urban Elderly Participation in Community Volunteer Service Activities——Based on Empirical Research in Tianjin

城市老年人参与社区志愿服务活动,对老年人健康和发展性需求以及老龄工作的社会管理创新具有重要的现实意义和社会意义。基于“天津市千户居民户卷调查”,发现近八成老年人热心参与社区公共事务;感觉幸福的老年人参与更为踊跃;受教育水平高、身心健康的低龄老人参与志愿服务活动意愿更加强烈。研究还发现,老年人参与社区志愿服务活动的政策支持体系尚不完善;参与渠道不够畅通;缺乏多层次、多样化的志愿活动项目。基于上述研究,本着自愿参与、量力而行原则,提出了五个方面的政策建议,科学推进老年人志愿服务向着健康方向发展。
