Abstract:

With the acceleration of population aging in China，China’s elderly population is increasing，which poses new
challenges to pension service models in China. To meet the diversified needs，people from all walks of life are actively exploring
new models of pension service. Through a brief review of home-based care services voucher system in Beijing，the authors find
out some defects in practice and points out several problems of old-age care services voucher system in the respects of market
suppliers，government policies and beneficiary groups. Drawing on the practical experiences of home-based care services
voucher systems in other cities of China，the present paper puts forward some suggestions to optimize the home-based care
services voucher system in Beijing: firstly，to actively promote the consumption concept and encourage the elderly to buy social
services；secondly，to improve the community service system and increase service supplier；thirdly，to vigorously promote allpurpose
cards and extend the coverage service vouchers. The above suggestions can function as a reference for the exploration
of the pension service model in line with China’s actual conditions.
