“…Government policies for the purchase of older adults care services have the integrity, relevance, purpose and contextual adaptation that all complex systems should have ( 48 ). Researchers have conducted a number of empirical studies on local government purchase of services, and some recent findings suggest that this form of privatization is less politically controversial and more accepted as a method of service delivery ( 49 ).…”

“…Other scholars have argued that there is a symbiotic evolutionary relationship between local governments and public health service organizations under different reward and punishment mechanisms ( 58 , 59 ), and that how to reduce the quality risk through ex ante policy design is key ( 60 ). There are also studies that suggest that government purchasing power and diversity of regulatory agencies are the primary considerations for government purchasing of older adults services, with the remaining vulnerability influences ranking second and third ( 61 ).…”

BackgroundPopulation aging is a basic national condition in China at present and for a long time to come, forcing the country to accelerate the pace of building its public older adults care system. The government’s purchase of older adults care services has become an effective way to make up for the lack of the family’s older adults care function, to which the Chinese government attaches particular importance. The article selects 11 typical cases from the excellent case base released by the Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs officials in 2022 to study the influencing factors of the effect of local government purchase of older adults care service supply.MethodsNVivo data analysis tools have significant advantages in retrieving, analyzing and coding data more efficiently and accurately, which helps to construct theoretical propositions and formulate hypotheses to be tested in qualitative research. The study intends to adopt the grounded theory approach to analyze the text with the help of NVivo12 software, to condense the practice mechanism of local governments’ purchasing of older adults care services and to construct a relational model.ResultsTaking “the supply effect of local government purchasing older adults services” as the main logic line, the article summarizes the four main influencing factors of the supply effect of government purchasing older adults services: the real demand of the society, the government’s power and responsibility system, the government’s governance ability, and the society’s acceptance ability.ConclusionThe sense of gain, happiness and security of the older adults group is the starting point and landing point of the older adults service policy formulation and implementation. Policy guidance and decision-making have an important impact on the quality of the supply of older adults care services and the development of the older adults care services industry. Clarifying the direction of policy guidance, reflecting the comprehensive efficiency of government governance and utilizing the professional advantages of social forces, is the key to improving the effectiveness of the government’s purchase of older adults care services.

The in-depth mining of policy text of Government Procurement of Public Services (GPPS) is helpful to distinguish stage characteristics and evolution logic of the policy. Through text-mining technology, the current research analyzes the policy text of GPPS from 1995 to 2021 in China. Firstly, the GPPS policy is divided into three stages according to the key policy nodes. Secondly, the TF-IDF algorithm is adopted to obtain keywords at each stage, and the static stage characteristics are summarized by constructing the complex network of the extracted keywords. Finally, the policy is clustered into several categories with the help of K-means cluster analysis, and the characteristic of each category is achieved through secondary word segmentation, so as to figure out the dynamic evolution logic of each policy category at divided stages. Results show that the development of the GPPS policy in China presents a point-to-face change feature, manifested in the evolution logic of “government purchase—government procurement of public service—all-round supporting policy.” And policy priorities at different stages, namely, policy tools, will change according to the development of economy and variation of demands.
