The Influencing Factors of Social Elderly Care Service Demand: A Meta-Analysis

摘要

By meta-analysis, we conduct a quantitative analysis of 98 independent studies between 2003 and 2016 to explore the influencing factors of social elderly services demand and their impact mechanisms. The results show that: (a)health, education, dwell, income, the charge and quality of service are the main factors that affect the social elderly service demand; (b) the differences among endowment patterns have regulating effects on the influencing mechanism of each factor; (c) the dislocation between the payment capacity of the elderly and the supply of services essentially results in the imbalance between supply and demand of social elderly services.
