Facing dramatic growth in its elderly population, Shanghai, China's economic center, has strategically exercised decentralized policy-making power to develop community-based service centers for the elderly. A growing number of elders have been using such services, particular dining services, since 2007. We discuss the evolution in community-based eldercare services in Shanghai, using dining services as an example. We also compare these service centers in Shanghai to multipurpose senior centers in the United States to offer policy recommendations for Shanghai and China's growing eldercare industry. Tailored policy recommendations are discussed.
面对老年人口的急剧增长,中国经济中心上海战略性地行使权力下放的政策制定权,以发展社区老年服务中心。自2007年以来,越来越多的老年人开始使用此类服务,尤其是餐饮服务。我们以餐饮服务为例,探讨上海社区养老服务的发展历程。我们还将上海的这些服务中心与美国的多功能老年中心进行比较,为上海和中国不断发展的养老产业提供政策建议。文中讨论了量身定制的政策建议。
