Offspring who fail to visit parents could be punished

By Zhou Wenting in Shanghai | China Daily | Updated: 2016-04-08 08:05

Shanghai residents who fail to visit their elderly parents regularly may have their names added to a credit blacklist that could make it difficult for them to apply for jobs and loans, and even impact their eligibility for welfare.

The move is the latest the city has made to encourage people to frequently visit elderly parents and ensure they are cared for, both physically and mentally.

The recently amended Regulations on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly in Shanghai, which will take effect in May, was published on Wednesday.
