在经济发展的早期阶段，妇女主要担任家庭老年人护理者。随着经济的发展，妇女在劳动力队伍中的进步降低了护理水平。如果水平低于老年父母的最低护理水平，那么孩子们可能会签订保险合同，甚至要求国家提供长期老年护理。老年人护理提供的这种变化与文献中提出的预测一致。作为这一主题的进一步研究，本文提出的猜想，随着工资率进一步上升，子女将提供足够的老年人照顾父母购买市场护理服务。
In earlier stages of economic development, women mainly serve as family elderly care providers. With economic development, progress by women in the work force has lowered care levels. If levels should fall below the minimum care level for elderly parents, then children might enter into insurance contracts and even demand provision of long-term elderly care by the state. Such a change in elderly care provision is consistent with predictions that have been presented in the literature. As a further examination of this topic, this paper presents the conjecture that, as wage rates rise further, children will provide sufficient elderly care to parents by purchasing market care services.
