Abstract

Hebei, one of China's most populous provinces, is facing increasing pressure on its elderly care services due to a rapidly aging population. Home-Based Elderly Care (HBEC) has emerged as a potential solution to alleviate this pressure. However, this care model is significantly impacted by various external environmental changes. The study employed a literature analysis method, conducting a PEST analysis, to examine the environmental factors influencing the progress of HBEC in Hebei Province, China. The findings offer novel research perspectives to inform strategic development in the HBEC industry. The study identified 19 environmental factors, both favorable and adverse, shaping the development of HBEC in Hebei Province. Based on these findings, the study recommends integrating laws, regulations, and systems, clarifying government roles, optimizing funding structure, expanding service delivery channels, enhancing public awareness of elderly care, and broadening professional talent development pathways. These insights can be valuable for policymakers, educators, and researchers seeking to understand the challenges and opportunities in the field, ultimately improving the well-being of China's elderly population.

中国河北省的居家养老发展：系统文献综述

河北是中国人口最多的省份之一，由于人口迅速老龄化，养老服务面临着越来越大的压力。居家养老（HBEC）已成为缓解这一压力的潜在解决方案。然而，这种护理模式受到各种外部环境变化的严重影响。本研究采用文献分析法，通过 PEST 分析，研究了影响中国河北省居家养老（HBEC）发展的环境因素。研究结果提供了新颖的研究视角，为河北省建筑业的战略发展提供了参考。研究确定了 19 个影响河北省 HBEC 发展的有利和不利环境因素。基于这些发现，研究建议整合法律、法规和制度，明确政府角色，优化资金结构，拓展服务渠道，增强公众养老意识，拓宽专业人才发展途径。这些见解对于决策者、教育工作者和研究人员了解该领域的挑战和机遇，最终改善中国老年人口的福祉具有重要价值。

期刊介绍： There is a growing recognition that major social trends, such as the process of globalization, rapidly changing demography, increasing psycho-social difficulties in individuals and families, growing economic disparities within and between the nations, and international migration, present important challenges for social policies and social work practices in Asia. It also has become evident that social policy strategies and social work methods must be developed and implemented in the context of Asian region''s own histories, cultures, and unique developmental trajectories in order to respond effectively to those emerging challenges. The Asian Social Work and Policy Review seeks to encourage exchanges of original ideas, rigorous analysis of experiences, innovative practice methods founded on local knowledge and skills of problem solving in the areas of social work and social policy between various countries in Asia.
