| Annotation | In China the one child policy has not only reduced the capacity of families to support their older relatives but has also caused an imbalance in the ratio of male to female children. It has now become essential to develop models of non-familial support for older people to complement traditional systems. This article provides an insight into the challenges facing China around the care of older people as a consequence of social policy change and increased economic mobility. It presents an overview of how care will be financed in the future in China as a consequence of changes in society. It then describes the responses and systems of funding that are being developed in China to address changes in care support structures and systems particularly in response to the single child policy and the impact of the increased financial aspirations of young Chinese people.
