摘要：

Little is known concerning the association between community care services availability and quality of life. The objective of the present paper is to examine the association between community care services availability and quality of life. The data were sourced from 2018 wave of Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). Ordered logit regression models were applied to examine the correlation of community care services availability and quality of life. Both binary logit regression models and generalized random forest models were used for robustness checks. There is a strong positive relationship of community care services availability and quality of life (coefficient = 0.3103, p < 0.01). Robustness checks using binary logit regression models and generalized random forest models report similar results. Heterogeneity analysis results reveal that the relationship of community care services availability and quality of life differs by age, gender, and residency area. Impact channel analysis results show that social participation is a channel involving the association of community care services availability and quality of life. It is of great significance for Chinese government to improve community care services availability. © The International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies (ISQOLS) and Springer Nature B.V. 2024.
