The dynamic equilibrium between population aging and the allocation of elderly medical care resources in the Yellow River Basin.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Population aging, as a global issue, has garnered significant attention worldwide. The rational allocation of elderly healthcare resources is critical to addressing this challenge. This study investigates the spatiotemporal evolution of population aging in the Yellow River Basin and evaluates the equilibrium between aging demographics and healthcare resource distribution.

Methods

This paper uses the Dagum Gini coefficient decomposition method to analyze regional differences and the dynamic evolution process of population aging in various provinces of the Yellow River Basin. The entropy method is employed to evaluate the elderly care and medical resource allocation in the provinces of the Yellow River Basin in 2020. By combining geographical concentration and the i
