This study examines how a rapidly growing aging population, the one-child policy, and economic reform in urban China pose unprecedented challenges to the country's ingrained tradition of family caregiving. It presents interviews of matched elders and their children from a government-sponsored nursing home in Shanghai and analyzes the decision-making process of institutionalization. This book offers fresh insight into the evolving culture and arrangements of caregiving in contemporary Chinese society, illuminating the diverse needs for long-term care of Chinese elders-the world's largest aging population-in the coming decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45280215040151,"sku":"9781137546937","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781137546937.webp?v=1769295674","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/evolving-eldercare-in-contemporary-china-two-generations-one-decision-9781137546937","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
