In the new era of China, to ensure that rural residents can get the corresponding institutional elderly services equally, it is necessary to investigate the current situation of resource allocation of rural institutional elderly care and make corresponding adaptation suggestions. The data on rural institutional elderly care resources from China Statistical Yearbook, China Civil Affairs’ Statistical Yearbook, China Rural Statistical Yearbook, and China Population and Employment Statistical Yearbook are collected from 2013 to 2022. Using the methods of the entropy-based TOPSIS, kernel density estimation, coupling coordination, spatial autocorrelation, hot spot analysis, Theil index decomposition, this research discusses the characteristics and evolution pattern of rural aging, the resource allocation of rural elderly care institutions, and the adaptation degree of rural institutional elderly care resource and aging. The research results show that: (1) The degree of aging in rural areas of China is rising, and the whole population has entered a moderate aging society, showing the spatial characteristics of “high in the east and low in the west”; (2) The resource allocation of rural institutional elderly care in China is at a low level, and the absolute differences among provinces tend to reduce over time, and the overall resource allocation level tends to decline; (3) The coupling coordination between the resource level and the aging degree can reflect the extent of resource adaption. The provinces that were in the mismatched adaptation relationship in the early stage have improved. However, the number of provinces with mismatched adaptability has continued to increase; (4) The local spatial autocorrelation of resource adaptation verifies that the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River as the core form a hot spot, and during the observation period, the spatial agglomeration effect of the core is strengthened; (5) The Theil index decomposition of resource adaptation indicates that the within-group differences between the eastern and western regions is significantly higher than that between the northeastern and central regions.

摘要

In the new era of China, to ensure that rural residents can get the corresponding institutional elderly services equally, it is necessary to investigate the current situation of resource allocation of rural institutional elderly care and make corresponding adaptation suggestions. The data on rural institutional elderly care resources from China Statistical Yearbook, China Civil Affairs’ Statistical Yearbook, China Rural Statistical Yearbook, and China Population and Employment Statistical Yearbook are collected from 2013 to 2022. Using the methods of the entropy-based TOPSIS, kernel density estimation, coupling coordination, spatial autocorrelation, hot spot analysis, Theil index decomposition, this research discusses the characteristics and evolution pattern of rural aging, the resource allocation of rural elderly care institutions, and the adaptation degree of rural institutional elderly care resource and aging. The research results show that: (1) The degree of aging in rural areas of China is rising, and the whole population has entered a moderate aging society, showing the spatial characteristics of “high in the east and low in the west”; (2) The resource allocation of rural institutional elderly care in China is at a low level, and the absolute differences among provinces tend to reduce over time, and the overall resource allocation level tends to decline; (3) The coupling coordination between the resource level and the aging degree can reflect the extent of resource adaption. The provinces that were in the mismatched adaptation relationship in the early stage have improved. However, the number of provinces with mismatched adaptability has continued to increase; (4) The local spatial autocorrelation of resource adaptation verifies that the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River as the core form a hot spot, and during the observation period, the spatial agglomeration effect of the core is strengthened; (5) The Theil index decomposition of resource adaptation indicates that the within-group differences between the eastern and western regions is significantly higher than that between the northeastern and central regions.
