In the era of accelerated population aging, the proportion of older adults in the consumer group also increases tremendously. Based on data from China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey, this article employs the analytical framework of Kotler's consumption behavior model and K-means clustering analysis method to categorize different types of consumption structure for Chinese older adults. Logistic regression method is conducted to analyze the factors affecting the consumption structure upgrading. The results show that the consumption patterns of the older adults are diverse, and their upgrades have not been hindered. The transformation from the basic to the developmental consumption structure is driven by demand factors and restricted by resource factors, and also supported by social networks, technology, and other external factors. These factors have heterogeneous impacts on older adults from urban/rural areas at different ages and income levels. These differences call for differentiated policies targeting on different subgroups.

Using job search theory and through bivariate logistic regression model, propensity score weighting analysis and structural equation modeling, this paper analyzes the differences of occupational mobility intentions among migrant workers in formal and informal employment, and the impacts of informal employment on their occupational mobility intentions. The results show that the two groups of migrant workers differ significantly in the personal characteristics, human capital and social capital. After controlling the selection bias, the informal employment migrant population has stronger occupational mobility intentions than the regular employment migrant population. However, the impact of informal employment on the occupational mobility intentions of migrant workers is different between different groups. Informal employment not only directly increases the occupational mobility intentions of migrants, but also indirectly increases their intentions of occupational mobility by affecting the working characteristics of migrants.
