Abstract: Drawing upon data from “Well-being of Elderly People in Anhui Province Survey” from 2001 to 2015,this paper explores the dynamic relationship between household composition change and elderly people’s subjective well being (self-rated health and life satisfaction).The results show that the influence of household composition change on the subjective well-being of the elderly depends on their age.For the younger-old age period of the elderly,the presence of grandchildren in household composition change has a positive impact on the subjective well-being of the elderly,whereas the household composition change in which elderly live alone or only live with their children,the subjective well-being of the elderly improves more slowly.For the oldest-old age period of the elderly,the five kinds of household composition change significantly deteriorates the development level of the subjective well-being of the elderly.The life satisfaction of the elderly shows a non-linear development with age.During the whole life-cycle of the elderly,the subjective concept,self-efficacy,and the family roles of elderly people differentiate the influence of household composition change on older people's subjective well-being,and the household composition change has selection effects on the older people’s health.

摘要: 文章利用“安徽省老年人生活福利状况”2001~2015年调查数据,研究家庭结构变动与农村老年人主观福祉(生理健康—健康自评和心理健康—生活满意度)的动态关系。结果显示家庭结构变动对老年人主观福祉的影响依赖于年龄效应,在老年人低龄及中低龄阶段,孙辈存在的家庭结构变动对老年人主观福祉的发展水平有积极影响,而老辈独居和仅与子辈居住的家庭结构变动与其相比老年人主观福祉水平增长更慢;而在老年人中高龄及高龄阶段,五类家庭结构变动均显著降低老年人主观福祉水平。老年人生活满意度水平随年龄增长呈非线性发展。在整个生命周期内,老年人主观概念、家庭角色及自我效能感使家庭结构变动对其主观福祉的影响显现出个体差异,且存在健康选择效应。
