While poverty has fallen dramatically in China since the start of reforms, there are concerns that the rural elderly may not be benefiting from growth to the same extent as young people and the urban elderly. This book provides empirical analysis of the welfare and living conditions of the rural elderly in China since the early 1990s, and finds a solid case for greater public intervention. It then examines the evolution of the rural pension system over the past two decades, examining the implementation experience and options for strengthening old age protection.
