Systematic evaluation of the elderly care industry based on energy factor inputs

Abstract

The energy factor is the foundation of economic and social development, and it is also an important prerequisite for the effective operation of the elderly care industry. Based on the perspective of energy factor input, this paper constructs the DPSR mechanism model of the energy-elderly care industry system. Taking Shanghai as an example, through its 2010–2019 15 index data such as energy factors and industrial economy, the Entropy-TOPSIS method is comprehensively used to evaluate the energy-elderly care industry system. Finally, the following conclusions are drawn: (1) The energy factor has an important impact on the operation of the elderly care industry through its effect on the driving force module, the pressure module and the state module; (2) The elderly care industry has an important impact on the energy factor through the conduction of the response module; (3) The evaluation results of the Shanghai energy-elderly care industry system showed a continuous improvement trend from 2010 to 2019.
