This paper studies the social support status of empty nesters in X Village. Based on 20 interview records, I describe the social support status and identify the primary problems are low social security treatment, insufficient daily care and neglected spiritual comfort. And I analyze the reasons from three aspects: policy design, policy implementation and population outflow. Finally, I summarize the conclusions of this study and propose countermeasures. Above all, future studies are needed on the design of policies.
