Local Abstract: [PIP] An examination of dependency among the Chinese elderly in physical, mental, social and economic areas is presented. Data were obtained from the cross-tabulations of the 1992 National Survey on the Old-Age Support System in China. A total of 20,083 respondents aged 60 years and over were included in the study. Findings showed that dependency rates differed markedly among the four functional areas. Only a very small proportion of the elderly was physically dependent or partly dependent. Within its functional area, dependency rates varied by age, sex, and urban-rural residence. Moreover, the economic needs of the elderly are the only fields that attract serious attention from the government and the society. Although economic security is the fundamental factor in the well being of the elderly, their physical, mental, and social aspects should also be considered. Mortality improvements would result in more elderly surviving to advanced ages and a potential rise in dependency rates. Therefore, China needs nationally unified strategies and policies, special government funding, and well-organized programs in order to address the needs of their elderly population. - Publication Date: Date Created: 20020928 Date Completed: 20000104 Latest Revision: 20221207
