利用西安交通大学人口与发展研究所相关跟踪调查数据,研究提供孙子女照料对农村老年人心理健康的影响。提供孙子女照料给老年人带来更好的心理健康后果,帮助的提供者和接受者的性别对后果及影响机制起着重要作用。儿子提供的孙子女照料会使老年人的心理健康状况更好,传统上的“儿子偏好”对中国农村老年人的心理健康很重要。女儿提供的孙子女照料只对男性老人的心理健康有利,对女性老人则没有影响。
Based on the follow-up survey data from the Institute of Population and Development of Xi’an Jiaotong University, this paper studies the impact of providing grandson care on the mental health of rural elderly. Providing grandson care for older people leads to better mental health outcomes, and the gender of providers and recipients of help plays an important role in the consequences and mechanisms of influence. The grandson’s care provided by the son will make the mental health of the elderly better. Traditionally, “son preference” is important to the mental health of the elderly in rural China. The grandson care provided by the daughter is only beneficial to the mental health of the male elderly and has no effect on the female elderly.
