The elderly population of ethnic minorities presents the characteristics of large scale and large burden coefficient, and faces the conflict between the pension model and the reality, as well as the adjustment between the ethnic religious culture and the pension system. Ethnic minority cultural concepts and religious beliefs affect the choice of elderly people, and ethnic minority religious culture has institutional, cultural and practical advantages in the process of enabling a modern elderly care service system. Based on this, through cultivating the concept of active elderly care, providing diversified modern elderly care security and people-oriented system construction, the mutual embedding path of ethnic minority religious culture and modern elderly care service system is improved. Give play to the role of ethnic minority religious culture in improving the modern elderly care service system, develop a modern elderly care service system that is compatible with the religious culture of ethnic minorities, so that ethnic elderly people can truly "get old".
