Some of these challenges were pertinent to biological factors, like the risk of infection, while others resulted from social factors, like ageism and government regulations. Employing a capability approach, this study examined how age-based pandemic regulations that were imposed in Turkey affected the freedom and social environment of older adults. We used Bachhi's What is the Problem Represented to Be? (WPR) approach to analyze the memorandums issued by the central government between March 11, 2020, and June 30, 2021. Our analysis revealed that the problem is represented in these memorandums as older people's increased vulnerability to health risks, which resulted in violations of their mobility and health capabilities, as well as (mis)recognition of diversity within the older population. These findings provide vital insight into how age-based pandemic regulations define the problem based exclusively on chronological age, thereby creating circumstances that compromise older people's capabilities beyond simply maintaining health. Thus, we recommend that policymakers pay closer attention to both the intended and unintended consequences of any proposed regulations, and account for individuals' capabilities rather than merely their functionings.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1375-1395"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142394206","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 study explored the effect of the first wave pandemic on the medical expenditure of older adults in China. Difference-in-Difference models captured both temporal and geographical variation in COVID-19 exposure to estimate the impacts of the pandemic on medical expenditure through a quasi-natural experiment. Data derived from the China Family Panel Studies. Results indicate that exposure to the pandemic significantly decreased total medical expenditures, hospital expenditures, and non-hospital medical expenditures of Chinese older adults by 15% (95% CI 12%-17%), 5% (95% CI 2%-7%), and 15% (95% CI 13%-16%), respectively, for each standardized severity increment. Females, less well-educated people, and individuals without internet access were most susceptible to experiencing these reductions. This study revealed that COVID-19 exerted a detrimental influence on the medical expenditure of older adults in mainland China. The \"hidden epidemic\" of non-COVID-19 medical needs of older adults deserves more attention on the part of policymakers.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1605-1625"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140909548","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}

Taiwan, Singapore, and Austria, all emphasizing the family's responsibility for eldercare, have long histories of recruiting migrant workers for home-based eldercare. However, cases of mistreatment of migrant caregivers and care recipients have aroused public concern regarding migrant workers' care capabilities and working conditions. Migrant caregivers have also reported that their lack of care skills and sufficient rest hamper their work with care recipients who have dementia. This commentary provides a critical review of the laws and policies pertaining to live-in migrant care workers' care capabilities and working conditions; the effects of such legal frameworks; and recent changes in Taiwan, Singapore, and Austria. This article enhances our cross-country understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of using foreign labor for eldercare in private homes. Governments should enact legislation that supports live-in migrant care workers' care capabilities and welfare, thereby also improving the well-being of care recipients and their families.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142510285","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 study aimed to examine the association of MME with enrollment in health insurance and its moderating effect on the associations of education and wealth with enrollment in health insurance among older adults in India. The data of 29,935 older adults aged 60 years and older from the first wave (baseline) of the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI-2017/18) were utilized. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis, multivariable logistic regression models, and Fairlie decomposition were used. The findings revealed that 18.3% of older adults had MME and enrollment in health insurance in India. Older adults with MME were 1.42 times more likely to be enrolled in health insurance than those with no MME, and years of schooling increased the probability of enrolling in health insurance compared to those who did not have formal schooling. With increasing monthly per capita expenditure (MPCE), the probability of enrolling in health insurance is lower than the poorest. Further, MME moderates the effects of education and MPCE on enrollment in health insurance and increases the likelihood of enrollment in health insurance. The study's findings imply strategic communication plans to encourage health insurance enrollment in India should take into account the usage of these communication channels.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142394205","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}

We examined whether there were neighborhood-deprivation, racial, or rural disparities in HCBS utilization provided to Veterans by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or Medicare by comparing the adjusted utilization rate of a historically disadvantaged group with the predicted utilization rate had it been treated as the historically dominant group. Among the 2.7 million VA patients over 66 years old in 2019, 11.0% were Black, 39.2% lived in rural settings, 15.3%/29.2%/30.9%/24.7% lived in least/mild/moderate/most-deprived neighborhoods. On average, 11.2% received VA or Medicare HCBS. Veterans residing in more deprived neighborhoods had 0.11-0.95% higher adjusted probability of receiving HCBS than expected had they resided in the least deprived neighborhoods. Veterans residing in rural areas had 0-0.7% lower HCBS rates than expected had they been treated like urban Veterans. Black Veterans were 0.8-1.2% more likely to receive HCBS than expected had they been treated like White Veterans. Findings indicate that VA resources were equitably employed, aligning with probable HCBS needs, suggesting that VA's substantial and long-standing investment in HCBS for care of frail Veterans could serve as a model for other payers and providers in the U.S.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142378430","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}
