Like most Western countries, population aging is under way in Taiwan primarily due to low fertility and a prolonged life span, The elderly had reached 7% of total population in 1993, and 11% at the end of 2011, Although the proportion of the elderly in Taiwan is not as much high as that of the average in EU countries, its rate of increase in the future is projected to be one of the fastest in the world. Household and Residence databases to do a projection and found that 2.62% of total population need long-term care services in 2011 in Taiwan. In addition, the proportion will rise to 4.42% in 2028. To cope with the first of the preceding challenges, the Department of Health set up six long-term care resource networks in Taiwan to try to improve the insufficiency and unequal distribution in long-term care resources, especially among professionals. In addition, the Ministry of Education has encouraged colleges/universities to set up long-term care programs, which can include several related long-term care courses, and the issuing of certificates if the students can achieve credits in these courses, as a means to develop a reserve of more professionals in long-term care field.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to understand the relationship between living arrangement and well-being of the elderly in Taiwan. Method: This study used literature review and secondary data analysis to show the change in family structure over the recent two decides, and the relationship between living arrangement and well-being of the elderly in Taiwan. Two major databases were used, including Survey of Family Income and Expenditure (SFIE) arid Survey for the Living Conditions of Elderly People. Results: This study found that households with the aged cohabiting increased significantly and the proportion of the elderly who are living alone and living only with a spouse has been rising, while the proportion living with adult children has been falling in recent years. In addition, the poverty rates of the households with coresiding elderly remained significantly higher than those of them without cohabiting elderly. The gap was shrinking before 1998 but grew again after 2000. Furthermore, the difference between households with aged members and those without aged members was significant. Around 15% of total expenditure was on medical and health for households with aged members, in contrast with only 3.2% for those with no aged family members. Conclusions: Living arrangement is highly related to the well-being of the elderly, especially in the facets of economy, health, and care/support. Thus, the government has to involve living policy in the comprehensive welfare policy and construct the "family-centered" welfare delivery system for improving the well-being of the elderly in the worldwide tendency of fewer children and high speed aging.
