Abstract

Population aging is one of the basic national conditions in China. The implementation of the strategy of actively coping with the aging of the population is of great significance to the construction of the working pattern of the aging which is compatible with the modernization of the Chinese style and the promotion of the modernization of the Chinese style population. Conducting a national survey on the quality of life of the elderly and constructing a comprehensive evaluation system to measure the quality of life of the elderly can understand the real situation of the life of the elderly in our country, and is conducive to improving people's livelihood and improving people's quality of life. However, at present, the comprehensive evaluation system of the quality of life of the elderly in China lacks a unified standard, and some indexes in the past research are no longer applicable under the background of Chinese-style modernization. Therefore, the evaluation of the quality of life of the elderly urgently needs a set of contemporary, scientific, and systematic system standards. Based on the data of the fourth sample survey on the living conditions of the elderly in urban and rural China, this paper first clarified the existing achievements and standardization status of the assessment of the quality of life of the elderly, then combined with the requirements of the working pattern of the elderly under the background of Chinese modernization, selected 26 secondary indicators, and used DHNN for data specification and objective empowerment. An evaluation index system composed of six first-level indicators, namely family life, health care, economic status, social participation, cultural life, and subjective feelings, was formed to obtain the score distribution of the life quality of the elderly in the country and the specific scores of the six first-level indicators. On this basis, reasonable development suggestions were given for the cause of active aging.
