Since China entered the aging society in 1999, the negative impact of an overwhelming elderly and fragile population has become gradually salient while necessitating social assistance. The huge population base, the unequal social development and the family planning policy in the last century all make the aging problem in China far more difficult than other countries in the world. Therefore, it is urgent to explore an appropriate aged care mode under China's national conditions. The public's cognition of the aged care problem is the basis of China's special aging society. Conducting research on the government's aged care responsibility is a key cornerstone in effectively solving the aged care problem in our society through comparative policy changes and analysis. As such, this is conducive to social flourishing in virtue of a government which formulate relevant policies and solutions from the perspective of the market and demand-side economics. In this paper, based on the data from the China General Social Survey (CGSS), I mainly studied the public's cognition of government responsibility in China. The software known as Stata was used to analyze the formation of this cognition, the changing trend in recent years and the influencing factors. Through my research, I have clarified the specific situation of China’s aged care model to hinge upon personal liquidity and family care, which is supplemented by options in diverse care, alongside the public’s limited understanding of governmental models of social care. Through an analysis of the influencing factors on public cognition, I have discerned influential factors to include aspects like region and population. This research intends to establish relevant policies as a factor for consideration. At the culmination of my research, I will propose policy changes and feasible approaches for the government in addressing the aged care problem in China.
