农村中老年人生活满意度及其影响因素差异——基于代际情感互动和经济支持视角的研究

Life satisfaction of rural elderly and the difference in influencing factors: From the perspective of emotional interaction and economic support between generations

利用2013年中国健康与养老追踪调查(CHARLS)数据,基于代际间的情感互动与经济支持视角,对农村中老年人生活满意度的影响因素进行研究。研究结果表明:代际之间的情感互动、经济支持均对农村中老年人生活满意度有显著影响,而情感互动的影响更为显著;中年人对于代际之间情感上的诉求更为强烈,而经济支持则对老年人生活满意度影响更为显著。在农村中老年人生活水平不断提高的背景下,子女除在经济方面对父母提供必要的支持外,更需重视与父母之间日常的感情联络。

Based on China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study（CHARLS） in 2013,we used the Ordered Probit Model to analyze the influencing factors of life satisfaction of the rural elder from perspectives of emotional interaction and economic support between generations.The result indicated that both emotional interaction and economic support have effect on life satisfaction of rural elder, and emotional interaction has greater impact. Besides, we also find that emotional interaction has greater impact on life satisfaction of the middle-aged and economic support has greater impact on life satisfaction of the old. Based on conclusions above, the paper suggests that children should pay more attention to emotional interaction with their parents to meet the demand on physical level and spirit level of rural elder.
