As of the end of 2017,there were 241 million elderly people aged 60 and over in China,and nearly 60% of them lived in rural areas.The different ways of living chosen by the elderly in their later years reflect to some extent their own situations.The choice of different ways of living is actually the demand for different old-age resources,which is related to the old-age living standards of the elderly in their later years.With the acceleration of the urbanization process,a large number of young and middle-aged people have entered the city to work,some have settled in the city for a long time,and the number of elderly people living alone in the countryside has increased,and the phenomenon of “empty nesting” has become increasingly apparent.With the improvement of medical level and living standards,the life expectancy of rural elderly is prolonged,which is higher than the degree of urban aging and the degree of development in urban areas.Because women's life expectancy is generally longer than that of men,the proportion of women in rural seniors is much higher than that of men.Many scholars at home and abroad have studied the way of living,but most of them are concentrated in urban groups.The data used are mostly regional questionnaires,and research based on gender perspective is rare.The long-term development of urban and rural areas is unbalanced.Rural areas lag behind cities in terms of economy,resources and public facilities.Based on this,this paper intends to use rural elderly as a research group and use the national large-scale database--"China Health and Pension Tracking Survey(According to the latest survey data released by China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study,CHARLS),the rural residents' living patterns and their influencing factors are analyzed from the perspective of gender,and it is proposed to target different rural elderly with different genders.Sexual differentiation recommendations.Based on past research results,this paper has done the following work.Firstly,based on the domestic and foreign literatures on living patterns,the author analyzes the current influencing factors of the living conditions and living patterns of the elderly,and then uses the social exchange theory and responsibility theory to further study the influencing factors.Secondly,using CHARLS2015 Data,descriptive statistical analysis and cross-linked table analysis of the factors affecting the living patterns of rural elderly,and the factors that have significant influence on the living patterns of rural elderly;the impact of using multiple logistic regression methods on the living patterns of rural elderly Factors were compared by gender.The empirical study found that there are some commonalities and differences in the factors affecting the living patterns of rural elderly people of different genders.The difference lies in: for the elderly in women(1)the physical condition has a significant impact on the way of living for the elderly in the elderly,and the elderly in the elderly with severe self-care ability will choose to live with their children,but the degree of depression is negative for the way the elderly live.Influence,with the deepening of depression,the older women do not choose to live with their children;(2)The economic conditions have a positive impact on the choice of female elderly living styles.Diverse.For males(1),age has a significant impact on the way older men live.Older males are more likely to live with their children;(2)older males who have received a certain level of education and whose children have non-agricultural households are less willing to choose to live with their children.However,both male and female elderly people choose to live with their children in the case of a lost spouse.Finally,based on the results of theoretical and empirical analysis,the recommendations for the retirement of rural elderly with different genders are proposed.
