(Lao Zhu said pension-24-91).The questionnaire for the Seventh National Population Census is divided into two parts: a short form and a long form. The census form includes items that reflect the basic situation of the population, which are required to be filled in by all households in the country, and the individual items in the census form include gender, date of birth, and place of residence at the time of the census. In addition to the contents of the short form, the long form also covers the main living conditions**, marital status, and the residence and health status of people aged 60 and above (born before October 31, 1960). Residence status refers to the main type of residence of the registered person in the month before the standard time point of the census, which is divided into seven categories, namely: living with spouse and children, living with spouse, living with children, living alone (with nanny), living alone (without nanny), and elderly care institutions (referring to the situation of living in places that provide elderly care services, including nursing homes and apartments for the elderly). Elderly persons residing in nursing institutions, regardless of who they live with) and others.
Based on the content of this survey, we plan to use 10% of the sample data to calculate the proportion of the elderly aged 60 and above who live in nursing institutions in the total sample of elderly people, and combine the total number of elderly people aged 60 and above obtained in the short table to estimate the number of elderly people living in nursing institutions in the whole country, as well as in various provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. At the same time, it will also combine the gender, age, urban and rural areas, marital status, life ** and physical health status of the elderly, and compare them with the general situation of the elderly, revealing various characteristics of the elderly living in nursing institutions, including demographic, socio-economic and health characteristics.
(Lao Zhu said pension-24-91).Before analyzing the data, we first conducted a preliminary test on the quality of the data of the elderly living in nursing institutions obtained from this survey. Taking the data of Beijing as an example, it is obtained from this census that on November 1, 2020, there were 38,155 elderly people living in elderly care institutions in Beijing, accounting for 089%；According to the 2016 Beijing Census of Home-based Elderly Care Resources, there were 41,083 elderly people living in nursing institutions in Beijing in September 2016, of which 4,128 were from other provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, accounting for 10% of all elderly people living in nursing institutions. According to the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Statistics, the city's permanent elderly population aged 60 and above at the end of 2016 was 37880,000, and the proportion of the elderly who lived in nursing institutions in that year was 108%, and the proportion of elderly people with Beijing hukou living in nursing institutions is 097%。In 2016, 2,928 more elderly people were admitted to nursing institutions through the survey of elderly care institutions, which was 767%, 1,200 fewer than the number of elderly people with Beijing hukou living in nursing institutions; In 2016, the proportion of elderly people living in nursing institutions was 0 higher than the 2020 census data19 percentage points, the proportion of elderly people with Beijing hukou living in nursing institutions is 008 percentage points.
(Lao Zhu said pension-24-91).In addition, the press conference data also mentioned above shows that at the beginning of 2020, "more than 2 million elderly people in the country were admitted to about 40,000 nursing homes", if according to the national 26,401 in 2020Calculated from 80,000 elderly people, the proportion of elderly people living in nursing institutions in the country is 075%；Using the 2020 census data, it is estimated that on November 1, 2020, the total number of elderly people living in nursing institutions nationwide was 19190,000 people, accounting for 0 of all elderly people73%。The two figures are very close to each other, both in absolute and relative numbers. Based on the above analysis of the data of Beijing and the whole country, it can be preliminarily concluded that the number and proportion of elderly people living in elderly care institutions obtained from this census are basically in line with reality.
