Abstract:
A systemic analysis of the origin,methods and characteristics of the health system classification theory systematically.Such classification originated in the Ideal Type by Marx Weber,and was deeply influenced by Esping Andersen′s welfare system.This classification is composed of two mainstream methods:the induction method which is based on properties of actual cases,and the deduction method which is based on reasoning from theoretical concepts.For the former,the theory was formed by observation and summarization of the laws of specific obj ects,while for the latter,a series of theory attributes are set based on given phenomena,with the attribute variables translated aggregately in the classification.As both share the same obj ective,yet with opposite advantages and risks,they should be combined appropriately as required in the study based in their application in China′s specifics.
