Objective

To provide insights for optimizing social participation policies for older adults in China, to introduce a novel analytical perspective to policy research and to explore quantitative approaches to assess policy tools configuration.

Methods

Policy documents were collected from the websites of the State Council, the National Health Commission, and the PKULAW database using the literature collection method. The content of elderly policies was quantitatively analyzed using the policy tool classification theory and the PMC index, and the policies were evaluated using the four-quadrant method.

Results

This study selected 17 policy documents as research objects. Specifically, there were 8 policies in Quadrant Ⅰ, 2 policies in Quadrant Ⅱ, 6 policies in Quadrant Ⅲ, and only 1 policy in Quadrant Ⅳ. Among the policy tools involved, there were 53 supply-side policy tools (57.0%), 23 demand-side policy tools (24.7%), and 17 environmental policy tools (18.3%). The average PMC index was 4.57, with the highest score being 7.17 and the lowest score being 2.87.

Conclusion

The structure of policy tools for social participation among older adults in China requires further optimization, with notable shortcomings in policy targeting, content richness, and innovation. The government should focus on refining the policy tool structure, clarifying policy goals, enriching policy content, and enhancing policy innovation to ensure the comprehensive and reasonable development of elderly policies and promote the implementation of the national strategy of active aging.
