Abstract

This paper explores the role of policy transfer in establishing long-term care insurance in China. The study shows that the knowledge gained from Germany serves as a new policy instrument in the provision of care to the elderly and disabled in China. We build on the theory of Dolowitz and Marsh and the framework of Evans to examine the initiation process for long-term care insurance, which is arguably broadly indicative of the dynamics of change underpinning the incremental process of policy transfer. It is observed that the current knowledge on policy transfer is characterized by evidence-based policy-making. This research implements policy transfer as tool for policy innovation and changes that promotes the performance of China’s social security sector. The establishment of long-term care insurance in China can best be described as rational policy design.
