“…In addition, the current results revealed a short supply in family support for infant and toddler care. Liu et al (2022) [69] analyzed access to childcare services for parents under the age of 3 in Sichuan Province, China, and found that there was insufficient adaptability, as well as the coexistence of insufficient supply and demand. Specifically, services were found to be under-utilized; the structure of services provided did not match the needs of families with children under 3 years of age, and the quality of services was low [70].…”

The present study aimed to investigate the status and relationships between family support for infant and toddler care and parenting stress, and to explore differences related to the number of children in the families. We conducted a survey among 13,390 Chinese parents who were randomly sampled from six provinces of China. Descriptive analysis, multivariate analysis of variance, and regression analysis indicated that (1) current family support for infant and toddler care in China is insufficient; (2) most Chinese parents reported moderate parenting stress, with the highest scores given for parental distress, followed by difficult child, and parent–child dysfunctional interaction; (3) the larger the number of children in the family, the less the family support for infant and toddler care, the greater the parenting stress; (4) there was a difference between the effects of family support for infant and toddler care on relieving parenting stress among families with different numbers of children. These findings indicate that different types of family support for infant and toddler care should be provided for families with different numbers of children, to ease parenting stress and promote the implementation of the government’s current fertility policy.

Young children indeed represent the future of a nation and hold the hopes of the country. The age range of 0 to 3 years is a crucial and unique stage in the lives of infants and young children, during which, their healthy development plays a significant role in shaping the harmony and stability of the entire society. In recent years, China has successively introduced a series of policies and regulations on childcare services to continuously improve and improve childcare services for infants and children from 0 to 3 years old. This paper aims to investigate the change in China's childcare service policy since the founding of the People's Republic of China from the perspective of history and structure. To be specific, this paper studies the change path of childcare service policy from a historical perspective and discovers its characteristics, and explores the reasons for policy change from a structural perspective. With the aid of Python and Rost-cm6 software, the study focuses on four key stages including policy change (1949-1978), (1978-2010) policy extension, (2010-2018) policy exploration, and (2018-2022) policy systematization. It was aimed to analyze the policy text quantitatively, and then summarize the evolution law of the change, so as to provide a reference for the subsequent policy formulation and development.

“…Due to the need for family care support and the expectation of intergenerational care services, from the year 2000 to 2022, many women over 60 followed their adult working children and moved to urban communities (Du et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2022). However, as newcomers with insufficient time and energy to rebuild their social networks, such women found themselves isolated in their new communities and passively excluded from their former familiar social network (Liu et al, 2022). They faced challenges to their own social inclusion and were hampered by feelings of unhappiness and loneliness, by health conditions that were often the result of age (thus with no pressing medical treatment), and this resulted in their exclusion from-and inability to create-social networks (Zhong & Peng, 2020).…”

This article examines how a new form of preventative care provision—dancing with care (DWC)—promotes social inclusion among older women in China and explores whether DWC can be regarded as an effective way to address the challenges these older women face in improving their social inclusion and achieving a healthy lifestyle. Our study demonstrates that various dimensions of DWC play a vital role in addressing the difficulties these older women encounter in their struggle to end their own social exclusion: These dimensions include levels of happiness, social network involvement, access to social support in “preventative care terms”, and the role of own’s grandchildren as a means to social bonding. Various dimensions of DWC align with the concept of preventative care for older women in urban communities. Using semi-structured interviews in selected “DWC communities” located in southern China, this article demonstrates that DWC contributes to addressing older women’s social inclusion by providing preventative care. In addition, we also performed an empirical data analysis that included institutional regulations for DWC design and implementation, publications by DWC communities, and academic research focused on DWC communities. DWC proposes an appealing path for older women to actively engage with and within their community. Furthermore, it offers valuable insights into the potential of a new model of preventative care and our conclusions will serve as a reference for enhancing social involvement among older individuals globally.
