In general, Dr Shi investigates how social policy can respond to dynamic care needs against socio-demographic changes and its impact on the formal-informal caregiving and service utilisation, from both demand and supply side to assist evidence-based policy making. Her research focuses on three interrelated areas, including 1) long-term care policy, 2) retirement arrangement and care preference, and 3) advancing support for people living with dementia.
