The hidden toll
Rapid population ageing and insufficient formal care have led over 80% of Chinese older adults to rely on informal care. Yet, research on caregivers’ health costs in developing countries remains scarce and inconclusive. This study aims to assess the relationship between informal caregiving and caregivers’ multidimensional health and identify the vulnerable groups. Utilizing data from the Harmonized CHARLS, which includes 16 287 participants from …
Long-term care insurance and labor-force participation of adult children
Background: Many informal caregivers at working age and face the dual burden of providing care and working. This study examines how China's long-term care insurance (LTCI) pilot programs affect the labor-force participation of adult children who may provide informal care to parents. Methods: We analyze four waves (2011, 2013, 2015, and 2018) of micro panel data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study and exploit the staggered roll…
A study on the impact of health shocks on subjective wellbeing of middle-aged people and older adults—Evidence from China
Introduction: The health issues that afflict middle-aged people and older individuals are a significant factor that affects their quality of life. It is crucial to investigate the impact of health shocks on the subjective wellbeing of this demographic and the mechanisms that underlie this impact to promote healthy aging. Methods: This study utilized data from the China Family Panel Study in 2018 and 2020 to analyze the effects of HSs and their ca…
Healthcare Expenditures among the Elderly in China
China has been piloting the catastrophic medical insurance (CMI) program since 2012 and rolled it out nationally in 2016 to reduce the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure among Chinese residents. Few studies have been conducted to determine its effect on healthcare expenditures, particularly among the elderly. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of CMI on healthcare expenditures among China's elderly population. The data f…
Inequalities in health-related quality of life and the contribution from socioeconomic status
The results showed SES is positively associated with HRQoL among Tibetans in APA. There was a slight pro-rich inequality in the health of the participants and most health inequality was attributable to SES. This study is helpful in gaining an insight into the HRQoL, health inequality and the relationship between SES and health inequality among Tibetans of APA in China
Measurement and decomposition of income-related inequality in self-rated health among the elderly in China
The findings confirm a high proportion of elderly with poor SRH, and health inequality in the Chinese. Some socioeconomic strategies should be conducted to reduce this health inequality among the elderly, such as reducing income disparities, consolidating health insurance schemes, and narrowing urban-rural and regional gaps. Older females with low incomes in rural areas are a vulnerable subgroup and warrant targeted policy attention
Association between body mass index and health-related quality of life among Chinese elderly—evidence from a community-based study
This study shows that underweight is an explicit risk factor of low HRQoL in both the male and female elderly, while the effect of overweight on low HRQoL varies slightly by gender
