Globally, ageing and declining birth rates have become major social problems for countries. Under this background, this paper discusses how to alleviate the shortage of social labor force, promote the sustainable development of economy and improve the family welfare by developing the high-quality child care service. This paper first analyzes the current situation of aging and the decline of birth rate and their impact on the social structure, and then puts forward the importance of universal child care services. By comparing the development models of child care service at home and abroad, this paper summarizes the experiences and challenges in policy support, resource allocation, service standards, etc. , this paper puts forward some suggestions on the path of the high-quality development of the national child care service, which is suitable for the conditions of our country.
