Abstract：Objective To construct an evaluation index for the ecological niche situation of elderly service talents,identify the key factors influencing the development of elderly service talents,and provide insight into building a high-quality ecosystem of elderly service talents.Methods The weight of each index variable was determined by entropy method,and the ecological niche theory model was used to output the ecological niche width and differentiation of old-age service talents in Jiangsu province from 2019 to 2023.Results From 2019 to 2023,the niche differentiation of elderly care service talents in Jiangsu province increased with years,the difference were expanding year by year,and the development imbalance was continuously widening.The overall competitiveness of the development of elderly care service talents was strong,and the ecological niche width showed an equilibrium of decreasing first and then rising.In terms of living environment and disintegrators the gaps among various cities in Jiangsu province were relatively small.In the economic environment,the disparities were obvious;In the producer,consumer and policy environment level,the differences were more significant.Conclusions It is suggested that various cities in Jiangsu should formulate corresponding strategies according to the geographical environment and situation.Optimize urban interaction and reduce development imbalance;Colleges and universities should take multiple measures to improve the quality of elderly care service talents.Finally,a high-quality ecosystem for the cultivation of elderly care service talents will be built to provide solid talent support for the sustainable development of the elderly care industry in Jiangsu.
