| Abstract | Aging society is not just a simple matter of the elderly population; it is related to the development of a country and the happiness of a family. Compared with the developed countries, China's aging problem has its own characteristics, such as aging faster, aging before rich, and aging with few children. This paper starts from introduction of China's current elderly care situation. China's elderly care model is different from what it was from the traditional residential culture, when most elderly were cared by their family members. Now it is impossible for the children from the "single child family" to give all the support, which is needed by the elderly. Then an analysis about the elderly care model is carried out. The survey is conducted through using the questionnaires on aging issues in Shanghai, one of the largest cities in China, to know the elderly current situation, consumption power and their needs on the elderly needs, so as to see a general picture of the elderly care in China. At last, some recommendations are put forward to set up the Chinese current mechanism of the elderly care models, the home/family care as the main base, community care as the supplementary and the institutional care as the support, to solve the aging problem in Shanghai. Chinese government should learn from the experience of the developed countries and change its present pension system. So China's aging society can be transformed into a more human and more colorful one, and the elderly can enjoy their aged life. |
