目的:探究家庭中子女的抚养负担对老年人医疗需求满足水平的影响,为我国制定相关政策以实现健康老龄化提供依据。方法:利用CFPS数据,分别采用OLS和分位数回归,定量研究家庭少儿抚养比对老年人医疗支出的影响。结果:少儿抚养比的系数估计值显著为负,且其绝对值随着分位数的增加呈现上升趋势,这表明子女抚养对老年人医疗支出存在挤出效应,且医疗支出越高,挤出效应越强。结论:子女抚养影响老年人医疗需求的满足水平,尤其是经常患病或患有大病的老年人,其医疗需求更得不到有效满足。 |

Abstract: |
Objective: Explore the impact of childcare burden on satisfaction level of the elderly medical needs in family, in order to provide the basis for policy making to realize healthy aging. Methods: Based on CFPS data, using OLS and quantile regression to quantitatively study the impact of children’s dependency ratio on medical expenses for the elderly. Results: The estimates of children’s dependency ratio’s coefficients were significantly negative, and their absolute values presented a tendency of increasing with the increase of quantile, these suggested that the crowding-out effect of childcare burden on medical expenses for the elderly was in existence, and the higher medical expenses, the stronger the crowding-out effect. Conclusion: Childcare burden impacts the satisfaction level of the elderly medical needs, especially for the elderly often sick or suffering from a serious illness, this impact will be even greater. |
