As China has undergone rapid urbanization and population aging in
the past few decades, improving the welfare of older people in
rural areas has become an ever more pressing issue. This title is
the first book-length work to examine the influence of urbanization
on the mental health of China’s older population outside the
city. Incorporating the theoretical framework of social ecology,
the author analyzes the socio-cultural factors that have exerted an
impact on participants’ mental health, such as their personal
life course transition, changes to family living arrangements and
community restructuring. Moreover, he introduces several elderly
mental health intervention models in China, while evaluating the
policy initiatives that have developed based on China’s local
resource sufficiency, cultural customs, and older people's needs.
The research findings not only facilitate a deeper understanding of
China's welfare policy making, but also offers a useful reference
for countries that are experiencing similar urbanization and
population aging and that wish to formulate better social policies.
Students and scholars of social policy, welfare, and gerontology
will find this title to be essential reading.
