代际共同居住方式对南疆农村老年人生活满意度的影响OA

With the advancement of urbanization and the transformation of residents'living concepts,the elderly's demand for high-quality,multi-level and healthy elderly care has become increasingly prominent,and the elderly care issue in rural areas has become a key topic of social concern.Based on 405 sets of field survey data collected in rural areas of Southern Xinjiang from January to March in 2024,this study adopted an ordered Probit model to systematically analyze the impact of intergenerational co-residence on the life satisfaction of rural elderly in Southern Xinjiang,and conducted heterogeneity tests by age and gender.Meanwhile,the mediating effect model and moderating effect model were used to examine the mediating role of grandchild care and the moderating role of social activity types,respectively.The results showed that:intergenerational co-residence could significantly improve the life satisfaction of rural elderly in Southern Xinjiang.Heterogeneity analysis indicated that the positive impact was more significant for the advanced-age(aged 70 and above)and the female elderly.The mediating effect test confirmed that grandchild care played a partial mediating role between intergenerational co-residence and the elderly's life satisfaction.The moderating effect test found that social activity types had a moderating effect,with the increase in the types of social activities which the elderly participate in,the positive effect of intergenerational co-residence on elderly's life satisfaction gradually weakened,and the weakened part could be compensated by social activities.Accordingly,targeted suggestions are put forward,including encouraging intergenerational co-residence,improving relevant social security systems,raising the level of social security,reducing the burden of grandchild care,and enriching social activities for the elderly,so as to provide references for improving the quality of life of rural elderly in Southern Xinjiang,and optimizing the rural elderly care service system.
