This book presents insightful analysis and research findings on a wide range of policy-relevant issues related to long-term care for older adults in China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChina’s population is aging at an unprecedented pace. Currently, older Chinese adults aged 65 and over account for approximately 15% (or 208 million) of the total population, a figure projected to exceed 30% (or 390 million) by 2050. Rapid demographic and socioeconomic changes in China are weakening traditional family-based elder care while increasing the demand for long-term care services. This book features a collection of studies that provides timely analyses and fresh insights into a wide range of policy-relevant topics related to long-term care for older adults in China. These topics are explored in the volume’s nine chapters, organized under four main themes: migration, caregiving, and elder care challenges; long-term care service users, frontline workers, and workforce challenges; unmet needs across the care continuum in healthcare, long-term care, and end-of-life care; and long-term care financing. Grounded in a thoughtful analysis of the best available empirical data and employing rigorous and cutting- edge research methods, the findings from these studies contribute to building scientific evidence where it is lacking and support evidence-informed long-term care policymaking and practice to address the mounting challenges of population aging in China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of the\u003cem\u003e Journal of Aging \u0026amp; Social Policy\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54611128549720,"sku":"9781041100911","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781041100911.jpg?v=1777914923","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/advancing-long-term-care-policy-and-research-in-china","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
