Abstract

In the context of population aging and family miniaturisation, mutual aid for the elderly has attracted much attention as an important mode to meet diversified needs for the elderly, and has formed mutual aid systems and practice mechanisms with different socio-economic characteristics in the course of long-term development. The article selects three representative international mutual-help elderly care models, namely, German "multi-generational residence", American "village" and Japanese "neighbourhood mutual-help network", and examines the social background, coverage, connotation, nature, leading force and the role of mutual-help elderly care in the context of the development of mutual-help elderly care in Japan. By comparing the social background, coverage, connotation, essence, dominant force and financing channels, the article provides experience for the scientific design of mutual care model and the continuity of the practice path in China.
