In view of the change in demographic structure in the past few years, Taiwan has become the country with the fastest speed of population aging. The aging population has become a major issue. Japan has the highest ratio of aged citizens, and the widely discussed phenomena of elderly poverty (The low-living elderly). Thus, this study based on Japan`s case, has systematically reviewed, analyzed, and secondary data, in order to provide the overall and future trends of elderly poverty situation in Taiwan. The study probes into the emergence of the “elderly poverty” problem and try to find out the extent of this problem and its future outlook, to explore the causes of the “elderlypoverty” problem in Taiwan and the official measures for alleviating elderly poverty. The research found that more than 50% of the elderly was the poorest households withthe lowest income, nearly half of the elderly population falls to the lowest and poorest level, shows “the low-living elderly” phenomenon has increasing in Taiwan’s society. The causes of the elderly poverty in Taiwan: 1. the labor pension is too low (less than the necessary living expenses); 2. unstable employment (low income work); 3. family care function are decline (the elders living alone has keep rising); 4. early to exit from the labor market (lack of deposits). The weakened social security system are the main causes for the rising old-age poverty. The elderly poverty exists widely and need to promote public awareness for prepare adequate deposit in retirement, strengthen care function of community and focus on the elderly poor issues. For overall pictures ofelderly poverty in Taiwan is worthy of further investigation and discussion.參考文獻 References ReferencesBarak, Kushner. (2015).

The aging population has become a major issue. Japan has the highest ratio of aged citizens, and the widely discussed phenomena of elderly poverty (The low-living elderly). Thus, this study based on Japan`s case, has systematically reviewed, analyzed, and secondary data, in order to provide the overall and future trends of elderly poverty situation in Taiwan. The study probes into the emergence of the “elderly poverty” problem and try to find out the extent of this problem and its future outlook, to explore the causes of the “elderlypoverty” problem in Taiwan and the official measures for alleviating elderly poverty. The research found that more than 50% of the elderly was the poorest households withthe lowest income, nearly half of the elderly population falls to the lowest and poorest level, shows “the low-living elderly” phenomenon has increasing in Taiwan’s society. The causes of the elderly poverty in Taiwan: 1. the labor pension is too low (less than the necessary living expenses); 2. unstable employment (low income work); 3. family care function are decline (the elders living alone has keep rising); 4. early to exit from the labor market (lack of deposits). The weakened social security system are the main causes for the rising old-age poverty. The elderly poverty exists widely and need to promote public awareness for prepare adequate deposit in retirement, strengthen care function of community and focus on the elderly poor issues. For overall pictures ofelderly poverty in Taiwan is worthy of further investigation and discussion. en_US dc.description.tableofcontents TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Motivation and Research Purpose 11.2 Literature Review 51.3 Research Objectives 131.4 Research Method 131.5 Thesis Structure 13Chapter 2 Elderly Poverty in Japan 15 2.1 The Rapid Ageing of Populations in Japan 152.2 Poverty among the Elderly in Japan 222.3 Causes of Elderly Poverty in Japan 26Chapter 3 Elderly Poverty in Taiwan 38 3.1 Demographic Trends in Taiwan 383.2 The Characteristics of Taiwan`s Elderly People 423.3 Overview on Taiwan’s Elderly Poverty 443.4 Causes of Elderly Poverty in Taiwan 483.5 Future Issues and Challenges 52Chapter 4 Social Policy on Elderly Poverty in Japan and Taiwan 55 4.1 Social Policy for the Elderly in Japan 554.2 Social Policy for the Elderly in Taiwan 674.3 Evaluation 764.4 The Long-term Care in Taiwan 88Chapter 5 Conclusion 925.1 Summary of Research Findings 925.2 Suggestions for Future Research 97 References 100 zh_TW dc.format.extent 1867868 bytes - dc.format.mimetype application/pdf - dc.source.uri (資料來源) http://thesis.lib.nccu.edu.tw/record/#G0999260091 en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) 台灣貧窮老人 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 老年貧窮 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 下流老人現象 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 獨居老人 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 社會福利政策 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 日本高齡化社會 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) Elderly poverty in Taiwan en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Elderly poverty en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) The low-living elderly en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Elderly living-alone en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Social welfare policy en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Aging society in Japan en_US dc.title (題名) 台灣高齡貧窮現象之研究 zh_TW dc.title (題名) Poverty among the Elderly in Taiwan: An Insight from Japan`s case en_US dc.type (資料類型) thesis en_US dc.relation.reference (參考文獻) References ReferencesBarak, Kushner.
