Abstract

In China, commercial insurance agencies directly supply or participate in supplying diverse goods and service of commercial old-age insurance, mainly consisting of old-age risk control, pension management, and old-age financial service. The development of commercial old-age insurance is highly valuable and strategically important to, not only the adequacy and sustainability of Chinese people’s old-age security, but also the long-standing harmony of Chinese social and economic progress. At present, as the 12th Five-Year Plan is successfully finishing and the 13th Five-Year Plan is starting, the Chinese Academy of Social Science (CASS) has conducted research on the Top-Level Design and Development Strategy of Commercial Old-Age Insurance, in cooperation with top-class Chinese universities. This is the first comprehensive research on commercial old-age insurance in China. More than 10 countries—including the USA, UK, and Canada—are covered. Based on the research on commercial old-age insurance and its effect on economy and society in foreign countries, the present report proposes a series of innovative and profound opinions on the basic definition and functional position of commercial old-age insurance in the structure of the Chinese society and economy.

Abstract

Since its independence in 1945, Indonesia has experienced decades of rapid social change that have affected every area of life and have reached even the most remote parts of the country. The impact on the experience of the population has been equally significant, especially for those individuals who are over the age of 60 today and have lived through much of this period. This book concerns older members of the Minangkabau ethnic group, one of Indonesia's many local cultures. The Minangkabau have an ancient matrilineal social structure that is embodied in their local law and customs (adat) and that, in the view of many Minangkabau, is under increasing pressure in the modern context. Today's older Minangkabau are deeply affected by these challenges to the traditional way of life which relate to fundamental social patterns, such as the nature of the long-established tradition of leaving their region of origin to work elsewhere (marantau) and the structure of relationships within the extended family, as well as the potential value of traditional practices in modern society. The gap between their expectations that were formed early in their life and the realities of life in modern Indonesia often create serious problems of cultural consonance that represent a personal challenge for which there is no precedent and no established strategy to address. This book is based on a long-term study of older Minangkabau in modern Indonesia with a focus on cultural consonance. It profiles the members of one family from a village in the highlands of West Sumatra whose members now live in cities across Indonesia as well as in their village of origin. The challenges but also the opportunities experienced by these individuals, and members of the older Minangkabau population in general, are characteristic of similar social change experienced across Indonesia in recent decades and illustrate the nature of culture shift in the rapidly urbanizing and modernizing context of modern Indonesia.

Abstract

This book, set within a social gerontology and transport behaviour studies paradigm, examines current debates and issues around transport for older people and its relationship to health and wellbeing for individuals and society as a whole. This timely title explores transport and travel needs and motivations of older people, barriers older people face using public and community transport, difficulties in accessing public spaces for walking and cycling. The safety of older drivers and recent advances in technology are also investigated. Concluding by looking to the future in addressing digital cities, driverless cars and other changes in ICT that may affect older people and their travel behaviour, a variety of global perspectives examine the social aspects of mobility and transport from a psychological, sociological, and geographical perspective. This title will be of interest to those working with older people in the health and wellbeing sector, those involved in transport and town and country planning and academics examining gerontology and associated social science subjects.
