Abstract
There are multiple dimensions of deficiencies in elderly care services for rural empty-nest elderly in China, necessitating the intervention of social organizations. Social organizations possess various advantages in participating in rural elderly care services, reflecting their importance and necessity in the governance of “service poverty” from the perspectives of governance concepts, governance subjects, and governance mechanisms. Combining the theory of collaborative governance and based on service cases of a social work agency in County S, Jiangxi Province, this study explores the collaborative mechanisms and governance effectiveness of the government, social organizations, villages, and social forces in the governance of “service poverty” for empty-nest elderly. It summarizes shortcomings, proposes countermeasures, and improves the multi-subject collaborative governance model for rural empty-nest elderly care services, which consists of government leadership, social organizations as operating entities, villages, volunteers, and other forces, aiming to promote the experience of the case to other underdeveloped areas.
