Perceived economic inequality is linked to poorer sleep quality
Economic inequality is believed to negatively affect individuals' psychological and physical health. We hypothesized that perceptions of greater economic inequality predict poorer sleep quality through social comparison and stress. We tested this hypothesis across three studies. Study 1 used a large-scale longitudinal dataset with a nationally representative sample in China (n = 37,984) to investigate the within-participant association between ec…

After controlling for demographic characteristics, it is found that older people’s satisfaction with the community environment has a positive and direct effect on their retirement attitudes; community participation plays a mediating role in the relationshi…
The Association between Trajectories of Loneliness and Physical Frailty in Chinese Older Adults
Background: The present study aimed to examine age differences in the relationship between trajectories of loneliness and physical frailty among Chinese older adults. Methods: A total of 4618 participants aged ≥60 years old were taken from pooled data created from the 2011−2015 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Loneliness was assessed by a single question from the Centre for Epidemiological Studies scale, whereas physical f…
Satisfaction with neighbourhood environment moderates the associations between objective neighbourhood environment and leisure‐time physical activity in older adults in Beijing, China
Asia is ageing fast. To develop more effective health promotion initiatives among older adults, more knowledge of the environmental correlates of physical activity is needed. However, research in this age group is rare, and most existing studies have been conducted within Western contexts. The present study explores the interaction effects of objective neighbourhood environment and satisfaction with neighbourhood environment on leisure-time physi…
Professional identity and turnover intentions of social workers in Beijing, China
In order to address the ascending turnover rate among social workers in China, this article presents the idea, based on social identity theory, that professional identity is an important factor influencing turnover rate. Employing structural equation modelling (SEM) techniques, the study found that professional identity was negatively associated with social workers’ turnover intentions, and that social workers’ job satisfaction mediated the relat…
Minimum income programme and welfare dependency in China
In the mid‐1990s China introduced a means‐test cash benefit called the Minimum Living Standard Guarantee System ( dibao ). Alongside the increases in both the number of beneficiaries and the budget, there is growing public concern that dibao is creating welfare dependency. Using survey data collected in three cities in China, we investigated to what extent dibao beneficiaries look for work. Focus group discussions were held with programme adminis…

Child deprivation indicators (CDIs)
In recent decades, the deprivation approach to measuring poverty has been widely adopted around the world for its advantages over the conventional income approach. However, it has attracted little attention in China. This study is a response to this situation. Using data from the Family and Children Survey of Beijing in 2011, the authors construct a child poverty measure – child deprivation indicators (CDIs) – in the Chinese context. Using the CD…
Poverty and quality of life of C hinese children
Using data from the F amily and C hildren S urvey of B eijing 2011 , the authors constructed a child poverty measure – C hild D eprivation I ndicators ( CDI s) – and explored the relationship between poverty and children's quality of life. The CDI s were found to be a more valid child poverty measure than the conventional measure which is based mainly on individuals' social assistance status. The findings show that deprived children are worse off…
Health Service Access for Rural People Living with HIV/Aids in China
The increasingly serious HIV/AIDS epidemic creates a significant burden for the public health system; however, little attention has been paid to the issue of health service access in rural China. Based on a qualitative study of 34 Chinese rural People Living with HIVIAIDS (PLWHA) and 13 health providers, this study fills a gap by examining health service access from both the demand and supply-side. Utilizing access theory, this study explores the…
From Social Insurance to Social Assistance
In attempting to establish a social security system that would function to smooth the transition from a planned to market economy, the government of China has, for most of the time in the past decades, focused its efforts on setting up social insurance programs in the urban areas. Along with the emergence of urban poverty since the mid 1990s, the emphasis of the government has shifted to means-tested social assistance programs as the major means …
Women, Poverty, and the Epidemic in China
Based on in-depth interviews with 110 People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), this qualitative study is a preliminary endeavor to delineate the socio-cultural scripts of rural PLWHA in China including their illness experience, everyday lives, and strategies of coping with stigma, poverty, and social barriers. This study documents the new wave of the “feminization of HIV/AIDS” in China. There is a gender difference of infection routes. Women were inf…
Family Support for Old People in Rural China
In China the family is still the major welfare provider for old people in rural areas. Although the implementation of this role has varied significantly, in different historical periods, owing to social and economic changes in the rural environment, the core functions of the family have remained the same, that is, the provision of welfare for dependants, particularly for the aged. In the more traditional China, providing care for the aged was ind…
