With an increasing number of elders moving into nursing homes, the
shift from family to nursing home care calls for an exploration of
caregiving decision-making in urban China. 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.
