In the United States, programs for older adults receive strong public support, but how attitudes toward these programs have shifted over time as the population ages is unclear. Furthermore, different groups may have different views. This study uses data from the 1984 to 2022 General Social Survey (GSS), a nationally representative survey of U.S. attitudes, to estimate trends in support for government programs for older adults. Attitudes toward more spending on Social Security and retirement have been stable, with slight increases over the last 40 years. Support for more government-provided care, which includes assistance with household tasks, payment for such care, and government direct care services, has increased over the last decade. Older adults, ages 65 and older, are less likely to support government spending on programs than adults ages 18-64. Differences in political affiliation are shrinking over time for Social Security but increasing for payment for care. The popularity of these programs suggests policymakers should seek to sustain them and introduce new programs to help offset the costs of care.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12240479/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144530346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Technology in the workplace, an under-studied aspect of work environments, could accommodate aging workers or could add stress to their jobs. This study examines how technology in sales and surveillance at work are related to job satisfaction and planned job exits among approximately 6,000 workers aged 50-69 employed in the low-wage service sector (e.g. retail, pharmacy, grocery, hardware, fast food, casual dining, delivery, and hotel). On-the-job surveillance was related to lower job satisfaction and higher reports of looking for a new job, especially when combined with sanctioning for slow speed of work. However, rewards for speed, and to a lesser extent the use of leaderboards, were associated with higher job satisfaction, demonstrating the potential of technology to enhance the work experience for older employees. The use of sales technologies was not associated with job satisfaction or intentions to look for a new job. These results provide a uniquely detailed portrait of prevailing labor market conditions for aging workers in the service sector and demonstrate how certain kinds of technology matter for older workers' employment.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144512549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Focusing on rural older populations who have traditionally relied on private transfers from adult children as well as public assistance, this study used data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study 2018 and the propensity score matching method to investigate the crowding-out effect of China's primary public assistance program, Dibao, on financial transfers from adult children to their empty-nest older parents and older parents' relationship satisfaction with their adult children. Our findings reveal that Dibao significantly reduced financial transfers from adult children to their empty-nest older parents but enhanced older parents' relationship satisfaction with their adult children. Furthermore, this crowding-out effect was more significant in irregular and cash transfers, and among those with lower capability of engaging in grandchild caregiving. These results suggest a complex dynamic wherein Dibao reduced financial contributions from adult children to their older parents in rural China. This study contributes to understanding the mixed effects of social assistance programs on intergenerational transfers and relationships in the context of the rapidly changing social structure in China.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144512547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Network analysis was used to identify the central health problems reported in the 2017 and 2020-2021 Korean Working Conditions Survey. Results reveal that most older workers belong to blue-collar occupations; they had lower incomes, less education, and worked in ergonomic hazard postures compared to white-collar occupations. The central health problem of the networks in general and blue-collar workers was muscular pain in the upper limbs, which had the highest-strength centrality and showed significant relationships with lower limb pain, backache, and fatigue. In the comparison by occupation types, the central health problem of pink-collar workers in the service and sales sector was lower limb pain. Occupational safety and health systems should consider the relationships of health problems amongst occupation types and determine interventional priorities. The study findings thus hold implications for the establishment of health programs for older workers.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144477279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, health and social care systems experience difficulties in delivering this outcome. Moreover, studies of place of death fail to identify barriers to dying in the community. To address this gap, this study estimates the unique effects of disease diagnosis and care provider type on the probability that ill adults aged 50 and older die in a private home, care home, hospital, or hospice. It does so by applying multinomial logistic regression analysis to data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Crucially, the analysis controls for sociodemographic factors, disability, and prognostic uncertainty by accounting for whether relatives anticipated the death. Cancer predicts hospice death, while non-cancer diagnosis and care provision by a partner predict hospital death. Dementia is a barrier to dying in a private home, while it is associated with a care home death. This suggests that community palliative care referral pathways cater to cancer diagnoses, while private home-based palliative care services struggle to support adults with dementia to die at home, regardless of prognostic accuracy. Including cancer-free adults in community palliative care referral pathways, and supporting their partners in care provision, would likely reduce hospital deaths.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143754988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This commentary dissects the dynamics that have shaped China's aging policies from the 1950s to the present, identifying gaps between policy formulations and market response and the challenges of navigating a fragmented regulatory landscape. A misalignment has emerged between an undersupply of home and community-based services and overstocked institutional care capacity, resulting in resource underutilization and diverging from intended policy outcomes. This commentary further explores the regulatory fragmentation within China's long-term care sector, finding that fragmented supervision is a significant barrier to achieving cohesive governance and effective policy implementation. It illustrates the critical need for adaptive policy mechanisms that better align with demographic realities and consumer expectations. This commentary contributes to the discourses on long-term care policy by offering insights into the effectiveness of China's strategic initiatives in recent years and suggesting directions for future policy refinement.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143732306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using panel data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study between 2011 and 2018, this study aimed to investigate whether the OMAS policy changed the middle-aged and older adults' utilization pattern of health services by utilizing the difference-in-differences (DID) approach. The results indicated that the implementation of the OMAS policy increased the number of outpatient visits (Coefficient = 0.240, p < .05) and reduced the number of inpatient visits (Coefficient = -0.117, p < .05) without increasing financial risk among middle-aged and older adults. The OMAS policy was also found to be associated with improvements in self-rated health (Coefficient = 0.234, p < .05) and a reduction in the number of ADL limitations (Coefficient = -0.103, p < .05) over the course of its extended implementation.

All these communities are aging but differ in perceptions about the quality of age-based services. The findings show that such services are important but not a necessary condition for a rural community to be perceived as age-friendly. A strong and supportive social environment appears to offer some compensation when local services are lacking and local infrastructure is underdeveloped.
