The Phenomenon of "Nursing Poverty" from a Global Perspective: The Ethical Dilemma of Family Structure Changes and Institutionalized Elderly Care

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study addresses the ethical dilemmas arising from changes in family structure and institutionalized elderly care, systematically exploring the increasingly prominent phenomenon of "care poverty" in the context of globalization. The study explores the contradictions between population aging, labor migration, and increased care demands. It identifies the root cause of care poverty as the conflict between weakening traditional caregiving functions due to family structure changes and lagging development of institutionalized elderly care systems. Drawing on successful experiences from countries like Japan and Germany, the research proposes targeted multi-level solutions to address care poverty, offering new theoretical perspectives.
