摘要
退休是个体从过去工作生涯中抽身出来的转折点,退休后个人福利的变化是老龄化社会值得关注的问题。基于中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)2012年数据,以男性为例采用模糊断点回归的方法识别退休对个体心理、生理健康的因果影响。结果显示,退休对个体的生理健康并没有显著影响,但对其心理健康有显著的正向效应。从影响渠道来看,退休后个体压力减少,认知功能、记忆力以及对生活满意程度提升是导致健康(尤其是心理健康)改善的主要原因。本文的研究为未来退休政策的制定提供参考。
Retirement is a status that a person quit the participation of the labor market. The issue of changes of retiree's welfare has attracted extensive attention of the society. Based on China Family Panel Studies( CFPS) in 2012,we use the China's mandatory retirement policy and apply the regression discontinuity approach to estimate the impact of retirement on males' health. We find that retirement has a positive effect on the mental health,but it does not affect physical health. we explore a wide range of health behaviors and cognitive as potential mechanisms. Relief from the work-related stress and strain,increased cognitive function as well as more life satisfaction seems to be key mechanisms through which retirement affects health.
