“…Most elder care institutions in small cities and rural areas are minimally equipped and offer low levels of services. Seniors living in larger cities have somewhat better options, but not all large city residents are financially able to access long-term care institutions (Zhang and Goza 2006). The number of public elder care institutions is far from sufficient, and private ones are unaffordable for most families.…”

From this latter standpoint, Eastern cultures in the modern world may have come to devalue their older adults more rapidly, given that they have faced greater spikes in population aging in recent years (Bloomberg Data/United Nations Population Division, 2012) and presumably greater resulting anxieties (as China's one-child policy illustrates; Zhang & Goza, 2006).…”

“…In China, adult children were expected to show respect and obedience towards their living and dead parents (Fan, 2007).
