This study explores the reality of economizing on welfare by promoting the idea that anyone can serve as a welfare worker for the elderly, through an examination of the work of social welfare professionals in elder care facilities in modern China.
Building upon this, we discuss that the idea of cheaper welfare has been highly influenced by economic policies, which have socialized welfare for the elderly by tertiary industrialization. We also suggest the reality of the enclosing phenomenon, which not only elderly people but also welfare professionals for the elderly enclose social resources of welfare for the elderly.
