With a growing number of elderly people, ageing is becoming a crucial<br />
social issue in China. The "One Child Policy" of the 1980s limited the<br />
number of newborns and resulted in a 4-2-1 structural morphology of<br />
population. Due to the pressure of fast-paced life, the younger generation<br />
born later than the 1980s tends to live a life that is different from their<br />
predecessors. Regardless of choosing a late marriage, or establishing<br />
Dink (Double Incomes No Kids) families, the younger generation’s way<br />
of living leads to a rapid population ageing. However, the methods and<br />
the approaches for dealing with this issue are insufficient, and thus can<br />
hardly meet the demands of this group of the population.<br />
In China, “Home-based Care” is advocated by the government at the<br />
policy level. Besides, given the custom and living habits of Chinese<br />
people, many elders prefer ageing at home. As such, this research seeks<br />
to study the ageing issue by looking at the living condition of Suzhou<br />
elders who age at home, and drawing a comparison between those living<br />
in the Suzhou Old Town and Suzhou Industrial Park, thereby laying a<br />
foundation for proposing strategic and tactical measures on housing and<br />
community for the Suzhou elderly.<br />
