社会养老保险与老年人空巢居住:来自北京市的证据

Social Pension Insurance and Older People Not Co- residing with Their Children:Evidence from Beijing

分析了北京市社会养老保险与老年人空巢居住之间的关系。老年人社会养老保险收入越高,越倾向空巢居住,即独居或只与配偶居住。但是,如果老年人日常生活需要照料,那么他们将倾向与子女居住而不会选择空巢居住,即使社会养老保险收入比较高。

This paper examines the relationship between social pension insurance and older peo- ple not co - residing with their children in Beijing. The results show that older people with high- er income of social pension insurance are more likely to live alone or live only with spouses. We also find that the older people are more likely to live with their children rather than live alone or live only with their spouses if they need daily physical caregiving despite higher pension in- come.
