Based on the forecast results, this paper defines and measures the disability dependency ratio. As a result, it shows that the disabled population in Zhejiang Province will reach the highest level around 2065, the number is about 4.65 million. The ratio of disability support in 2070 will reach to 0.224. After that, based on the population forecast, this paper describes the long-term care needs of the disabled and partially disabled people in Zhejiang Province. Finally, the article focuses on the issue of the amount of institutional collection fees in the design of long-term care systems, and measures the fund based on an actuarial perspective. In conclusion, according to the current long-term care system, the corresponding recommendations are given.
