I would like to become a nursing home administrator... Get my degree in the U.S. And one day move to china and transfer my degree to work over there. Are there nursing homes in china? If there are, is it popular for the elderly to go there? Or is it very rare?

I think you just might carve out a nice niche for yourself in China. The elderly used to be taken care of by their family. But now with all the changes in society, the elderly may not be able to depend on their children anymore. I think your skills could be in high demand in the near future.

Yes, there are nursing homes for elderly people...these are a relatively new thing and are currently mainly used by the rich (there are also aged centers for the poor but maybe not the same thing, more like comunity group meeting places), but as the population is rapidly aging more and more nursing homes will need to be opened as more people want them. Most people are currently looked after at home by the family but as incomes are rising and housing is becoming more expensive, people are wanting more freedom from parents and gran parents...its easier and cheaper for alot of people to rent a nursing home for their old folks than to buy a big enough apartment for them all to live in together.

Over 250,000 senior citizens in Beijing -- 12.7 percent of the 2.02 million people in the city who are over 60 -- are happy to live in nursing homes, according to a survey by the municipal political consultative conference. Even if most seniors prefer traditional home-care by family members, nursing homes are becoming increasingly acceptable to the grey population,
