Framing the Training Needs Analysis: A Survey among Retirees in China
Abstract
This study aims to identify the types of training required by Chinese retirees and provide a foundation for creating a novel training service tailored to this demographic. It will be accomplished through qualitative and quantitative methods, including a document review and a questionnaire survey. According to the results, feelings of loneliness are related to not living with children and a lack of interest in engaging in social activities or taking advantage of educational opportunities. They need the interest training service because it will make them happier and less lonely.
