Abstract
With the rapid development of population aging and the increasing demand for elderly care services, China’s elderly care services are facing unprecedented challenges. As an economically underdeveloped region, Guangxi is characterized by a growing aging population and a prominent urban-rural inversion. For the majority of elderly people with low incomes and insufficient savings, access to affordable, accessible, and quality-assured elderly care services has become a major issue in contemporary elderly care. This paper briefly describes the current situation of inclusive elderly care services in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and explores the path of inclusive elderly care in the region. The study points out that the government needs to strengthen its leading role, break the hard constraints of elderly care operation costs, continuously promote the improvement of the basic elderly care service system, and ensure that the basic needs of China’s growing elderly population for care, support, and protection are met.
