The volume explores the evolution of China's rural pension system over the past two decades, addressing its current implementation and future directions. It documents the complex dynamics of migration, household behavior, and the changing nature of family support, including the impact of migrant remittances and the burdens on the elderly who continue to work or care for grandchildren. This analysis makes a case for greater public intervention in the welfare of the rural elderly, offering insights and suggestions for deepening the coverage and effectiveness of the rural pension system to ensure the well-being and financial security of this vulnerable population.
