This study examines how a rapidly growing aging population, the one-child policy, and economic reform in urban China pose unprecedented challenges to the country’s ingrained tradition of family caregiving. It presents interviews of matched elders and their children from a government-sponsored nursing home in Shanghai and analyzes the decision-making process of institutionalization. This book offers fresh insight into the evolving culture and arrangements of caregiving in contemporary Chinese society, illuminating the diverse needs for long-term care of Chinese elders–the world’s largest aging population–in the coming decades.Series in Asian Labor and Welfare Policies,2730-7956Social groupsFamilyWelfare stateSociology of Family, Youth and Aginghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22080Politics of the Welfare Statehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33050Social groups.Family.Welfare state.Sociology of Family, Youth and Aging.Politics of the Welfare State.362.60951Chen Linauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut374086BOOK9910253330003321Evolving Eldercare in Contemporary China2532441UNINA
