China is aging at an extraordinary speed and has the largest quantity of elderly persons in the world. Scholars utilize this unprecedented living experience of human being and the unique Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) datasets with the aim to answer in this volume the following questions critical to the aging population world wide. Is the period of disability compressing or expanding with increasing life expectancy and what factors are associated with these trends in the recent decades? Is it possible to realize morbidity compression with a prolongation of the life span in the future? The first section of the book presents the CLHLS project's study design, sample distribution, contents of data collected, and assessments of age reporting and data quality. The remaining chapters are grouped into sections dealing with the demographic, social, economic, familial and psychological dimensions of healthy longevity. This volume contributes to the development of scientific knowledge related to the "slowing down" of the pace of progression of morbidity with mortality declines at older ages.Research findings reported in this book are instrumental in the ultimate realization of the long-term dream of healthy longevity, that is, not only living longer, but living a healthier life.

With the revolutionary technology advancement and the global population aging, there has been increasing recognition of the importance of the use of information and computer technology (ICT) among older people, and the need for ICT inclusivity to ensure that all older individuals can benefit equally from the modern technology. ICT use is also considered to has the potential to promote healthy longevity by telehealth and health monitoring, social connections, cognitive stimulation, access to information, and lifelong learning, among others.Although there are growing empirical studies on ICT use at older ages, a good summary and review of the current findings, especially from those of non-Western societies, is largely absent. Based on a wide range of evidence-based analyses and real-world examples and a more refined scheme of measures, this book presents the most updated findings in the field, conducts analyses from cross-national and multicultural lens, and offers multidisciplinary and comprehensive insights on how individual, cultural, societal, and institutional factors shape ICT use and healthy aging across nations.The wide scope and the holistic approach of the book makes it a timely and valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, healthcare professionals, other stakeholders, and anyone interested in understanding the role of ICT in promoting healthy aging and improving the lives of older adults.

This book presents an innovative demographic toolkit known as the ProFamy extended cohort-component method for the projection of household structures and living arrangements with empirical applications to the United States, the largest developed country, and China, the largest developing country. The ProFamy method uses demographic rates as inputs to project detailed distributions of household types and sizes, living arrangements of all household members, and population by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and urban/rural residence at national, sub-national, or small area levels. It can also project elderly care needs and costs, pension deficits, and household consumption. The ProFamy method presented herein has substantial merits compared to the traditional headship rate method, which is not linked to demographic rates and projects limited household types without other household members than "heads".The book consists of four parts. The first part presents the methodology, data, estimation issues, and empirical assessments. The next parts present applications in the United States (part two) and China (part three), concerning demographic, social, economic, and business research; policy analysis, including forecasting future trends of household type/size, elderly living arrangements, disability, and home-based care costs, and household consumption including housing and vehicles. The fourth part includes a user’s guide for the ProFamy software to project households, living arrangements, and home-based consumptions.This book offers an invaluable toolkit for researchers, analysts and students in academic, public and private businesses, whose work is related to levels and rates of change in households, population and consumption patterns.
