Kinmen is an offshore island of Taiwan located near the city of Xiamen in Fujian Province, China. Kinmen has long held a position of economic and political significance. Because of the Chinese Civil War, the island was subject to almost four decades of military control. Under the military dictatorship, population aging was addressed primarily through the provision of family-oriented care. After the abolishment of martial law, then the implementation of the Little Three Links policy, the development of local social welfare and the transformation of industry, the population of Kinmen has manifested the following characteristics in recent years: a relatively high rate of social increase of population, a reversal in the proportion of aged population and children, a reversal in the employment rates of men and women, a decrease in the scale of households and a relatively high proportion of new inhabitants. The aforementioned phenomena have posed a challenge to care provision conventionally provided by the families in Kinmen. This study based on social care and care regime to capture the transformation process and features of the care division in Kinmen by analyzing government documents and statistical data. The findings reveal the core feature of infant care is strong re-familiailsm, the elderly care is marketization and other adult care is de-familialization. The phenomena reflects that the change of care division varies from person to person connecting with Confucianism culture. This paper is useful to the development of Confucianism care regime and discussion about the care policy in Kinmen. |
