“…Another way is to define the term according to the extended distance from large cities. Some social scientists (e.g., Carlton-LeNay, 1992;Turner, 1996; see also Wright, 1995) define rural residence by vocation, such as working on farms, or in areas dependent on other extractive enterprises, such as mining and logging.…”

This manuscript is the first attempt to apply human behavior theory to examine emerging trends and issues for rural elderly women. Despite a fair amount of recent descriptive information, there is a need for a cohesive theoretical framework to interpret empirical findings, inform practice, and direct future research inquiry. A multidimensional framework is set forth as a cohesive lens from which to evaluate the literature. The article concludes by outlining the implications for the social work educational curriculum, ethical considerations, and future research needs.Social work education incorporates the advancement of knowledge about populations-at-risk, to prepare practitioners who are committed to serving people most vulnerable to the effects of poverty, oppression, and discrimination (Commission on Accreditation, 1994).

Using data from a national representative survey (N = 9,423), this study examined (1) whether providing tangible support to children enhances the life satisfaction of older Chinese women, and (2) whether mothers' perceptions of children's filial piety affect such relationships. The results of multinomial logistic regressions show that older women who cared for grandchildren were more likely to report higher life satisfaction but those who provided monetary support were less likely to do so. In addition, the relationships between providing support and life satisfaction were conditioned on mothers' perceptions of children's filial piety. A positive regard on the younger generation was associated with enhanced life satisfaction among mothers who provided tangible support. The findings of this study point to the importance of perceived filial piety for the well-being of older Chinese women.
