Recognizing rapidly ageing population is one key concern faced by
cities and the challenge it would present to healthcare system,
this book looks at ageing in China's population as well as the
delivery and financing of long-term care (LTC) in China. The book
compares key features of long-term care insurance (LTCI) schemes in
15 pilot cities and evaluates the sustainability of various
financing models adopted by the cities in the LTCI schemes. The
book uses an interpretive case study approach to give an in-depth
look into the LTC models in three pilot cities - Qingdao, Nantong,
and Shanghai. The three cities represent three different models of
financing and delivering LTC. To assess how effective the LTC
models in these three cities are, the book uses five criteria,
including utilization of medical resources, cost, equity, quality
of care and sustainability. Also, the authors discuss how the
financing and delivery of LTC can be improved in China, the impact
of the 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on older adults in need
of LTC in the country and the implications of China's LTCI reform
for other countries. The book will be a useful reference to
scholars and policy-makers who look at urban ageing and healthcare
costs and delivery.
