农村留守老人生活满意状况考察

A Study on Life Satisfaction of Old People Left Behind in the Countryside

利用中国人民大学人口发展与研究中心2004年“农村子女外流对迁出地家庭养老的影响”抽样调查的数据,采用Logistic回归法,分析了影响留守老人生活满意状况的因素,定量考察了外出子女数量与留守老人生活满意状况的关系。研究结果表明,外出子女数量、留守老人自身的身体状况、家庭照料和赡养情况、是否感到孤独以及经济收入等因素对留守老人生活满意状况有显著影响,拥有更多子女外出的留守老人对生活满意的可能性要高于较少子女外出的留守老人。

With the data from a sample survey conducted by RUC in 2004 and by Logistic regression, the authors analysed the factors influencing life satisfaction of the old people left behind in the countryside, and made a quantitative study on the relation between the satisfaction and the number of their children flowing out. The paper shows that the quantity of the flowing - out children, the old peoples health condition, the family care and support, the level of their loneliness as well as their family income have evident comprehensive influences on the satisfaction. Those with more flowing-out children have higher probability of satisfaction than those who have fewer ones.
