This is the first book to apply rights-based alternative-care theory and practice for orphans to China's child-welfare system, including its history and development in urban and rural areas. It analyses empirical research starting 2001 about the profile of orphans; state child-welfare institutions; de-institutionalization; kinship care in rural China; foster-mother villages; non-government children's welfare; and current policy changes toward a mixed welfare approach.
