摘要
从老年人养老成本最小化理论出发,通过构建理论框架,提出老年人幸福感与子女数量之间非线性关系的研究假说。使用中国综合社会调查(CGSS)2013年度数据对老年人幸福感和子女数量之间的关系进行了实证研究。研究结果表明:老年人幸福感与子女数量之间存在倒"U"型曲线关系,且子女数量对女性、城镇、高收入老年人群体幸福感的影响更为明显;"有儿子"比"有女儿"会给老年人带来更明显的幸福效应,证实了"养儿防老"的传统观念仍广泛存在,在农村地区,低收入家庭"重男轻女"的思想更具普遍性。
Drawing from the endowment cost minimization theory,this paper constructs a theoretical framework and puts forward the research hypothesis that the relationship between the subjective well-being of the elderly and the number of their children is not simply linear,but exhibits a"U"shaped curve.In this paper,we conduct an empirical research on the relationship between the happiness of the elderly and the number of their children using the data from the China Comprehensive Social Survey(CGSS)in 2013.It concludes that there is a inverted"U"shaped curve relationship between the subjective well-being of the elderly and the number of their children,and the influence of the number of children on the well-being of the female,the high-income and the urban elderly is more obvious.Further,having"a son"rather than"a daughter"can bring the elderly more pronounced happiness,which confirms that the traditional concept of"raising a son for old age"may still prevail.Preference for sons is even more widespread in low-income families in the rural areas.
