Research on the Domestic Service of the Urban Middle-old Empty-nest Elderly in China

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Under the mainstream model of ‘home-based care for the aged’ in China, the urban empty-nest elderly family is a very important family type. In order to improve the domestic service system of the empty-nest elderly and promote the diversified development of the aging service industry, this study focuses on the important group of middle-aged empty-nest elderly to explore the types of tangible or intangible service experiences and physiological or psychological demand characteristics and combined with a questionnaire to analyze their relationship. The differences and influencing factors of different demand characteristics under the two types of ‘self-based service’ and ‘other-based service’ are derived. Finally, it is concluded that middle-aged empty-nest elderly have a higher demand for ‘other-based service’, but they lack sufficient guarantees in terms of physiological safety, so it is necessary to strengthen the experience design of domestic health and safety.
