Abstract

The dining problem of the elderly population has become the core of the pension problem. How to realize the diversified supply of assisted meals for the elderly is the key to the catering project. The cooperative production typically reflects the "multi-subject" trend of urban assisted meals. Its purpose is to realize the diversified supply to meet the needs of the elderly through the coordination of the elderly. In the investigation of Z city of G Province, it was found that the city has the regional differentiation of catering resources and the ambiguous role positioning of all parties in the project operation. The analysis of the reasons is related to the low degree of coordination of the governance subjects. Therefore, the following solutions are proposed from the perspective of cooperative production: first, through the construction of "two work linkage and three social linkage", the advantages of the subjects should be realized; second, the big data platform to realize the accurate grasp of supply and demand, and promote the resource flow and sharing among the subjects under the information exchange and sharing.
