Using large datasets on elderly care in Singapore, China and Indonesia, this paper will describe and compare the characteristics of elderly care recipients in an urban setting. The datasets used are the Singapore Informal Caregiver Survey 2011, the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey 2008 and the Indonesia Family Life Survey 2007. The minimum individual age covered in the Singapore and China datasets is age 75 and individuals observed have at least 1 ADL limitation. The minimum individual age covered in the Indonesia dataset is age 60 and individuals observed have at least 1 ADL limitation. We describe the demographics, living arrangements, physical health, self-rated health, health and social care utilization; and socio-economic status of the elderly care recipients and their care givers. Given the different levels of economic growth, institutional contexts and the extent of healthcare in each country, we will explain for the different patterns of care that the elderly receive.
