代际传递视角下子女教育资本积累对老年流动人口健康教育利用的影响

Impact of children's educational capital accumulation on the utilization of health education among elderly migrant population from a perspective of intergenerational transmission

目的 在代际传递视角下分析子女教育资本积累对我国老年流动人口健康教育利用的影响,为提高流动老人健康教育利用率、改善健康水平提供参考。方法 利用2016年全国流动人口动态监测调查数据,运用Probit模型以及倾向得分匹配(propensity score matching,PSM)分析子女教育资本积累对老年流动人口健康教育利用的影响。结果 子女教育资本积累对老年流动人口健康教育利用有正面性影响,子女文化程度高会使得老年流动人口接受健康教育项目的意愿提高9.45%(β=0.094,P<0.01),采用子女教育水平最低的样本(β=0.095,P<0.01)及PSM法进行稳健性检验结果依旧稳定,其中近邻匹配、半径匹配与核匹配平均处理效应的衡量(average treatment effect treated,ATT)值分别为0.083、0.078和0.095,对应t值1.97、3.63和2.33;异质性分析发现,子女教育资本积累对老年流动人口健康教育利用的影响存在年龄、教育及地区异质性,即子女教育资本积累对低龄(β=0.099, P<0.01)、文化程度低(β=0.110,P<0.01)与东部地区(β=0.132,P<0.01)流动老人健康教育利用影响更大。结论 子女教育资本积累对老年流动人口健康教育利用具有促进作用;子女教育资本积累对低龄、文化程度低和东部地区的老年流动人口健康教育利用具有更强的正面影响。

Objective From the perspective of intergenerational transmission,this study analyzed the impact of children's educational capital accumulation on the utilization of health education among elderly migrants in China in order to provide evidence for promoting the utilization of health education in the elderly migrant population and improving their health level.Methods Data were extracted from the 2016 China Migrants Dynamic Survey and analyzed using Probit regression and propensity score matching method.Results Children's educational capital accumulation had a significant positive impact on the utilization of health education in the elderly migrant population.Higher level of children's education increased the willingness of accepting health education programs by 9.45%(β=0.094,P<0.01).The results of robustness tests using the sample with the lowest educational level of children(β=0.095,P<0.01)and the propensity score matching method were stable,with the ATT values of neighbor matching,radius matching and kernel matching being 0.083,0.078 and 0.095,respectively,corresponding to t-values of 1.97,3.63 and 2.33,respectively.Heterogeneity analysis revealed age,education,and regional heterogeneity in the effect of children's educational capital accumulation on health education utilization of elderly migrant populations.The effect of children's educational capital accumulation was larger in the subpopulation at a lower age(β=0.099,P<0.01),with a lower level of education(β=0.110,P<0.01),or living in the eastern region(β=0.132,P<0.01)Conclusions Children's educational capital accumulation promotes the utilization of health education in elderly migrant population.This positive effect may be more prominent in the elderly migrants who are relatively younger,have lower education levels,and are living in the eastern region of China.
