Abstract

With the acceleration of the aging process of China’s population, the problem of caring for the disabled elderly has gradually become the focus of social attention. As the core model of China’s elderly care system, family supporting is facing great challenges due to its long-term reliance on non-professional care and limited social support. This paper focuses on the current situation and characteristics of family supporting for the elderly with disabilities, and analyzes the roles of the family, the government, social organizations and the market in the care system and their problems, including the overburden of family supporting, insufficient coverage of social services, the imbalance between the supply and demand of institutional resources, and the weak mechanism of multi-principal collaboration, in the light of the principal-agent theory and the multi-governance framework. Drawing on international advanced experience and domestic pilot practice, this paper proposes solutions such as optimizing the linkage between family and social support, improving institutional services, innovating socialized elderly care models, developing market mechanisms and building a multifaceted collaborative governance system, with the aim of providing theoretical support and policy recommendations for the optimization of the care system for the disabled elderly.
