Declining fertility rates and increased life expectancies over the
last few decades have conspired to make China one of the more
rapidly aging societies in the world. Aging Families in Chinese
Society focuses on the accelerated social and demographic changes
in China and examines their implications for family care and
support for older adults. Contributors to this landmark volume
portray various challenges facing aging families in China as a
result of reduced family size, changing gender expectations, rapid
economic development and urbanization, rural-to-urban migration,
and an emerging but still underdeveloped long-term care system.
Divided into four thematic areas - Disability and Family Support;
Family Relationships and Mental Health; Filial Piety and Gender
Norms; and Long-term Care Preferences - chapters in this volume
confront these burgeoning issues and offer salient policy and
practice considerations not just for today's aging population, but
future generations to come. Combining quantitative data from social
surveys in China, comparative surveys in Taiwan and Thailand, and
qualitative data from in-depth interviews, Aging Families in
Chinese Societies will be of significant interest to students and
researchers in aging and gerontology, China and East Asian Studies
and population studies.
