Abstract: How can basic elderly care service level be improved? Existing research focuses on the consideration of factors of micro-individual needs and macro-social economic systems， but fails to explain facts that contradict the theory. This study integrates the theory of social needs and the theory of welfare pluralism， then empirically tests the effect and mechanism of demand drive and supply drive on the development level of basic elderly care services. The regression analysis has found that the government， the market and the social dimensions in demand drive and supply drive significantly affect the level of basic elderly care services. Using qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to further open the black box of the mutually-oriented logic between the economically developed and underdeveloped regions， it is found that in economically underdeveloped regions， policy support and the number of social organizations in demand drive and supply drive are the core driving mechanisms. Therefore， it can alleviate the pressure of aging governance by improving the policy system of elderly care service and supporting the development of social organizations， breaking through the vicious circle of “only economic development theory” for reference from existing experience.
