A Study on the Current Situation and Problems of the Development of Companion Services for the Elderly

Abstract

With the acceleration of the aging process in China, the accompanying service, as an important part of the silver-hair economy, has gradually developed from a marginal demand to a mainstream market. The article systematically analyzes the current situation, problems and countermeasures of the development of escort service, and through the study, it is found that: the demand for escort service is strong but the supply is insufficient; the industry standardization is lagging behind; the pricing system is confusing; and the healthcare system is poorly articulated and other problems are prominent. In the future, it is necessary to promote the development of escort service in the direction of specialization, intelligence and universality through policy guidance, technological integration and standardization, so as to release its potential as a core growth pole of the silver hair economy.
