代际交换与城市老年人的生活满意度

Intergenerational exchange and life satisfaction of the urban elderly

基于"2013年上海市老年人口状况与意愿跟踪调查"数据,通过交互表观察城市家庭中双向的代际交换以及老年人的生活满意度状况,并采用二元Logistic回归的方法讨论双向代际交换对老年人生活满意度的影响。分析结果显示:代际交换中已出现重心下移趋势,即亲代对子代的支持多于子代对亲代的支持。亲代对子代的支持与老年人生活满意度有显著的相关性,老年人与子女相处过程中表现出利他性,为子女照看孙辈对提高其生活满意度有正向作用。而子代对亲代的支持与老年人生活满意度无显著相关,老年人经济上的独立性反而会提高其生活满意度。
