Family support for the elderly in China: issues and challenges
Article Abstract:
The rising incidence of elderly abuse in China prompted the government to pass legislation that specifies the responsibilities of the government, community and family in elderly care. However, it is argued that the effectiveness of legislating elder care remains uncertain given the lack of studies on the quality and factors affecting family care in China and differences in the ideas about family care in urban and rural areas.

The political economy of unemployment and unemployment insurance in the People's Republic of China
Article Abstract:
China introduced market reforms in 1980 which promised to increase productivity and economic efficiency and remove unemployment. Restructuring of economy and welfare programs by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has created job insecurity and unemployment. The unemployment insurance scheme, introduced in 1986, has many shortcomings. The CCP, however, refuses to believe that there is an unemployment problem.
