Abstract:
Objective:This study aims to analyze the focus and existing shortcomings of informal elderly care policy in China,and to provide references for policy system optimization.Methods:A two-dimensional analysis framework of"policy instruments-participating actors"was constructed and a content analysis method was applied to quantitatively analyze 34 relevant policy texts on informal elderly care(2011-2025),aiming to reveal the structural features and evolution logic of the policy system.Results:The policy evolution has undergone three stages,including institutional initiation,regulated development,and systematic deepening.In terms of policy tools,supply-side,environmental,and demand-side tools accounted for 39.6%,33.6%,and 26.8%,respectively,with the structure transitioning from a"supply-dominated"to a diversified synergistic model of"supply optimization+environmental empowerment+demand stimulation".In terms of participating actors,government departments(27.7%)played a dominant role,technology enterprises showed increased participation(20.6%),while family members remained underrepresented(9.2%).Conclusion:It is necessary to further optimize the structure of policy tool,strengthen social participation and family support systems,promote the deep integration of technology and humanistic care,and enhance the systematicness and effectiveness of the policy system.
