%X Presently, in China, the population is aging at an accelerating rate and the number of disabled people is increasing. In order to ensure that the disabled, old people and others live in dignity, a legislative initiative for long-term care is badly needed to regulate money-raising, long-term care institutions and nursing staff. The costs of long-term care should be included within the scope of social insurance in order to maintain social safety and share risk. As for care institutions and nursing staff, because they involve management functions such as construction, health, labor and human resources, education and etc. and most of them are technical, related competent authorities should be authorized to set administrative regulations to form the standards for institution-founding and personnel training and evaluation. Key words: long-term care; the elderly; legislative need R¨¦sum¨¦: Actuellement en Chine, la population vieillit ¨¤ un rythme acc¨¦l¨¦r¨¦ et le nombre de personnes handicap¨¦es est en augmentation. Afin d¡¯assurer que les handicap¨¦s, les personnes ag¨¦es et les autres peuvent vivre dans la dignit¨¦, une initiative l¨¦gislative pour les soins de longue dur¨¦e est absolument n¨¦cessaire pour r¨¦glementer la collecte de fonds, les institutions de soins de longue dur¨¦e et le personnel d¡¯aide m¨¦nag¨¨re. Les co ts des soins de longue dur¨¦e devraient ¨ºtre inclus dans l'assurance sociale, afin de maintenir la s¨¦curit¨¦ sociale et de partager le risque. Quant aux institutions de soins et le personnel d¡¯aide m¨¦nag¨¨re, comme ils impliquent des fonctions de gestion tels que la construction, la sant¨¦, le travail et les ressources humaines, l¡¯¨¦ducation etc et la plupart d'entre eux sont techniques, des autorit¨¦s comp¨¦tentes appropri¨¦es devraient ¨ºtre autoris¨¦es ¨¤ ¨¦tablir des r¨¨glements administratifs pour former les normes sur l¡¯¨¦tablissement des institutions, la formation du personnel et l'¨¦valuation. Mots-Cl¨¦s: soins de longue dur¨¦e; personnes ag¨¦es; n¨¦cessit¨¦ l¨¦gislative
