Objective To investigate the impact of social and family elderly care on the social participation (labor participation, social recreational activities) of the elderly. Methods A multi-stage stratified random sampling method was employed to conduct a questionnaire survey on the elderly in five urban districts of Xuzhou city. Totally 1 000 elderly individuals aged 60 and above were selected as the study subjects. Descriptive analysis and χ2 test were performed using Stata 18.0. A binary logistic regression model was utilized to explore the influence of social and family elderly care on the social participation of the elderly. A significance level of α=0.05 was set for the tests. Results Among the 1 000 elderly individuals, 217 were engaged in labor, and 623 participated in recreational activities, with participation rates of 21.7% and 62.3%, respectively, indicating relatively low participation rates. A higher level of elderly care was associated with a lower probability of labor participation among the elderly. Elderly individuals with higher economic support from their children had a higher probability of labor participation. Moreover, compared to elderly individuals without material support from their children, those receiving such support had a higher probability of participating in recreational activities. Conclusion Family and social elderly care are important influencing factors for the social participation of the elderly. It is essential to further improve the elderly care system, enhance the level of social participation among the elderly, to achieve the goal of active aging.
