THE DISTRIBUTION AND OCCUPANCY RATE SITUATION OF THE WELFARE FACILITIES FOR THE ELDERLY IN BEIJING

This paper is on the distribution and occupancy rate situation of the welfare facilities for the elderly in Beijing. First of all, we arranged the welfare ordinance for the elderly. The data on system, standard, location and maintenance of welfare facilities are summarized. Furthermore, we collected the information on the distribution of welfare facilities and their corresponding occupancy rate and abundance rate. The analysis of the data clearly illustrated the influence of government policy on the distribution of welfare facilities. The existing problem of this distribution is also discussed. Based on above-mentioned results, we arranged the relation between the distribution and absolute amount of welfare facilities (number of beds), living distribution of the elderly, and then, we clarified the variance of those. In the future, we will investigate actual conditions of these welfare facilities for the elderly.
