The journal features articles that illustrate the use of quantitative methods to empirically test social science theory. The journal emphasizes research concerned with issues or methods that cut across traditional disciplinary lines. Special attention is given to methods that have been used by only one particular social science discipline, but that may have application to a broader range of areas with an ultimate goal of testing social science theory. </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Its articles yield new insights into established practices, evaluate new techniques and research, examine current social problems, and bring serious critical analysis to bear on problems in the profession. Review chapters typically cover social processes, institutions and culture, organizations, political and economic sociology, stratification, demography, urban sociology, social policy, historical sociology, and major developments in sociology in other regions of the world. Major emphasis is placed on social policy and the solutions to serious human problems.</p>https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/12991Analysis of Opportunities and Challenges for State-Owned Enterprises in Participating in the Elderly Care Service Industry Development2025-12-10T10:34:47+08:00Hui RanEconoedu2019@126.comYaguang ChenEconoedu2019@126.comHongzhi GaoEconoedu2019@126.comJin DaiEconoedu2019@126.comYali HuangEconoedu2019@126.com<p>The intensification of population aging and the emergence of the silver economy have made it an inevitable trend for state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to participate in the elderly care service industry. By systematically analyzing the opportunities and risks of participation of state-owned enterprises in the service sector, the paper identifies the advantages and disadvantages of participation in the service sector, and proposes further strategic options. The study aims to provide practical reference for State-owned enterprises to organize their services in an orderly manner and to achieve synergy between their own development and industrial upgrading, while supporting the high-quality development of the service sector in support of the elderly and addressing the challenges of population ageing.</p>2025-12-10T09:22:11+08:00Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/ssr/article/view/13016Practice and Prospect of Group Standard for Innovation and Transformation of Medical Equipment2025-12-10T16:24:20+08:00Bo Xuteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>The importance of group standards is becoming increasingly evident. These standards are developed and released by groups following their own established procedures, intended for voluntary adoption by group members or the public. In the field of medical equipment innovation and transformation, group standards play a crucial role in multiple aspects. They provide unified technical specifications and operational procedures, clearly defining quality requirements and evaluation criteria at each stage, which helps reduce the randomness in R&D and enhances the efficiency of transformation. They also facilitate communication and collaboration among industry, academia, research, and application sectors, enabling scientific research institutions, medical facilities, and enterprises to share resources and complement each other’s strengths within a common standard framework, thus accelerating the transition of innovative outcomes from the laboratory to the market. By establishing group standards, the healthy development of the industry can be guided, market order can be standardized, and the overall quality and international competitiveness of China’s medical equipment products can be enhanced, promoting China’s transition from a major player to a leader in medical equipment manufacturing. Through an in-depth exploration of the practical applications and development trends of group standards in the innovation and transformation of medical equipment, researchers can better understand the intrinsic connections and mechanisms between group standards and the innovation and transformation of medical equipment, providing new perspectives and theoretical foundations for future research, and enriching the theoretical framework in this field.</p>2025-12-10T16:24:20+08:00Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s)
