Features: The author conducts a systematic examination of foreign pension systems and practices, as well as domestic pension research and real-world development. The author argues that it is essential to actively study and learn from beneficial foreign and overseas experiences while preventing issues arising in elderly care services in some countries. Solutions to pension issues must be creatively developed based on China's, particularly Shanghai's, actual conditions. These analyses play a significant role in enhancing rational understanding of elderly care services. This work effectively employs empirical research methods, conducting extensive social surveys to gather rich material on urban elderly care. To address Shanghai's aging trend, the author's empirical research focuses on Shanghai's aging issues, emphasizing the evolution of the home-based elderly care model amid social transformation. It explores the cultivation pathways for community elderly care services and the role of non-profit organizations in this context, offering many unique insights.
