| Annotation | Facing dramatic growth in its population of older people, Shanghai, China's economic centre, has strategically exercised decentralised policy-making power to develop community-based service centres for older people. A growing number of older people have been using such services, particularly dining services, since 2007. The authors discuss the evolution in community-based eldercare services in Shanghai, using dining services as an example. They also compare these service centres in Shanghai to multipurpose senior centres in the United States, to offer policy recommendations for Shanghai and China's growing eldercare industry. Tailored policy recommendations are discussed. (RH). |
