摘要
本文利用中国老年人健康长寿调查(Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity,CLHLS)2005年的数据在控制个体社会人口学特征变量之后,考察了地区收入不平等、健康对我国老年人主观幸福感的影响。主要得到了三个基本结论:首先,收入不平等对我国老年人的主观幸福感有显著的负面影响,而且它主要是通过影响老年人的健康间接地影响其主观幸福感;其次,收入不平等对老年人幸福感的影响存在显著的城乡差异,它对农村老年人的负面影响要远大于城市的老年人,而且在控制了健康变量之后,收入不平等对农村老年人主观幸福感的影响依旧在10%统计水平下显著,对城市老年人不再显著;最后,收入不平等对有无医疗保险的老年人幸福感存在显著差异,有医疗保险的老年人幸福水平更高,收入不平等对他们幸福感的负面影响相对要小得多。
This paper makes full use of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Study（CLHLS） according to the data of 2005.In the control of the individual sociodemographic variables,the paper observes the influences exerted by the regional income inequality and health on the subjective well-being among the elderly in China.Three basic conclusions are drawn in the paper.Firstly,there is a significant negative influence,which arouses from the income inequality,on the subjective well-being among the elderly in China.It indirectly impacts the subjective well-being mainly through the effect on the health of the elderly.What＇s more,there is substantial urban-rural disparity in the effect of income inequality on the well-being among the elderly.The negative influence on the rural elderly far outweighs the influence on the urban elderly.Besides,in the control of the health variable,the influence of income inequality on the well-being among the rural elderly is still critical on the 10% level,but no longer significant on the urban elderly.Finally,the influence of income inequality on the well-being is significantly different between the elderly with or without the medical insurance.The elderly who have the medical insurance will achieve higher well-being.The income inequality leads to a much smaller negative influence on them compared with the elderly without the medical insurance.
