Valuation of informal care for the old-aged with disabilities in China—a discrete choice experiment approach
Our findings confirm the importance of cash compensation in retaining caregivers to provide informal care. The heterogeneity of preferences among different groups is significantly influenced by their sex, occupation, caregiving, marital status and region. Our study supports the promotion of cash compensation to informal caregivers and different levels of incentives for different groups of informal caregivers.
