摘要
学术界就隔代照料对老年人健康的影响意见上并不一致。利用2014年中国老年社会追踪调查数据,探讨中国老年人隔代照料的数量和强度,以及其对于老年人躯体健康和心理健康的影响。我国老年人平均照料孙子女数量为0.52个,73.29%的老年人提供隔代照料,17.57%的老年人每周至少照料孙子女一次;在控制了社会人口特征和代际支持变量后,发现主要是隔代照料的强度而非隔代照料的数量对我国老年人健康产生影响;提供低强度隔代照料的老年人对其自评健康有负面作用,提供高强度的隔代照料则对老年人孤独感状况有积极作用。
The impacts of the children care on grandparent＇ s health have been inconclusive. In this paper,we adopt the data of Chinese Longitudinal Aging Social Survey in 2014 to explore the number and the intensity of childrencareprovided by Chinese grandparents and its impacts on thegrandparent＇ s physical health and mental health. The results showed that：the average number of the childcare cared by Chinese grandparents is 0.52, and more than 47% of Chinese old people provide grandparent＇ s care at least once a week; after controlling the demographic characteristics and intergenerational support in regression analysis, we find providing low - intensity children care plays a positive effects on self-reported health and activities of daily living （ADL）scores of grandparents ,which infers that suitable grandparent＇s care is beneficial to the elderly physical health; however, high - intensity of grandparent＇ care has a negative impact on the loneliness feeling of the Chinese old people, which infers that excess grandparent＇ s care threats the elderly mental health.
