Abstract:

China is currently carrying out pilot work for long-term nursing insurance system in some areas, but we are lack of successful practical experience in establishing this system. Some foreign countries have witnessed decades of development of a long-term nursing insurance system, which has been constructed and developed in aspects of model choice, insurance applicants, fund source and wage payment. The system has positive social effect, and China can learn from it in the following aspects: attaching great importance to the top-level design of the system, clarifying the orientation of the system, focusing on the function of informal nurses and putting the market mechanism into the full play. In this way, we can establish an efficient and sustainable long-term nursing insurance system.

Key words: long-term nursing, international comparison, experience
