| Annotation | China's rapid economic reforms, coupled with the changes in age composition of the demographic structure, have greatly affected the traditional family support system. In response to these changes, efforts to develop new models of community-based long-term care (CBLTC) for older people in China have received growing attention. This paper provides a systematic analysis of the current status of emerging CBLTC systems in Shanghai. It covers several domains of the system: service delivery, workforce, financing, and quality of care management. Several main issues involved in the development of an emerging system are considered, and relevant policy implications are presented. (RH). |
