中国老年人口收入差异研究

Study on Income Gap of Elderly Population in China

老年人口是一个弱势群体,但是也有很强的异质性,老年人口的收入差异是一个值得关注的问题。基于中国老龄科研中心2000年"中国城乡老年人口一次性抽样调查"的数据,采用"五分法"对中国老年人口的收入差异进行分析,发现老年人口内部的收入差异较大,总收入的一半以上集中在20%收入最高的老年人群当中。文章还分别考察了不同收入组的收入结构以及不同特征老年人口的收入差异情况,并根据这些发现提出若干政策建议,以缩小老年期的收入差异,建设一个和谐的老龄社会。

Based on the national survey data, this paper make a analysis of the income distribution which describe the relative shares of total income received by five income groups （from lowest income to highest income） among Chinese elderly population, and we found that big income gap exists. Then we examine the income structures by five income group and the income distribution among different population group with different demographic and socio-economic characters.
