During the demographic transition,China's economy has also made a leap to the world's largest economy,making it the second largest economy after the United States.At the same time,China has also successfully entered the middle-income countries,the income of residents into a stable growth level,the level of household consumption has also been increasing.With the improvement of the consumption level of residents,the consumption psychology and consumption tendency of residents have also undergone great changes,especially the consumption psychology and consumption behavior of the elderly population have undergone great changes,which are manifested in the change severity structure of the elderly households.Therefore,in the current rapid economic development and the acceleration of population aging,it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of urban and rural elderly groups consumption structure changes.This paper uses the data of CFPS 2010 to 2016 to describe the dynamic change process of the consumption structure of the elderly groups in China during the population transition period,and through the horizontal and vertical comparison of the consumption structure of the younger,old and old families and the young family,the consumption structure of the elderly family in China is obtained in the age dimension at this stage(in the age dimension)I.e.from the young to the old)and the time dimension(i.e.2010-2016)change characteristics.Based on life cycle theory and extensibility linear expenditure model,this paper constructs the linear regression model of the per capita net income,family financial assets,family size,family health status and family member's education on the consumption expenditure of urban and rural households in China by using the data and the method of quartile regression in CFPS 2016.First of all,this paper makes an empirical analysis and compares the influence factors of the consumption structure of urban and rural elderly households in 2010 and 2016,and then this paper makes an empirical analysis of the influence factors of the consumption structure of the urban and elderly families.And compared the empirical results of urban young and elderly families with those of urban non-elderly families,and the characteristics of urban elderly families' consumption structure were obtained.The empirical results of rural young and elderly families are compared with that of rural non-elderly families,and the characteristics of the consumption structure of rural elderly families are obtained.Conclusion:At this stage,China's urban and rural elderly families have strong desire to consume,mainly in food consumption,urban and rural elderly families in food consumption consumption consumption more and more diversified,in food consumption pay attention to nutrition and natural organic ingredients,in addition to the urban high-income elderly families in the cultural and educational entertainment consumption desire is high,significantly larger than other families.However,the overall consumption level of rural elderly households in China is still low,consumption demand is mainly concentrated in the survival consumption mainly based on food consumption,rural elderly families in addition to food consumption consumption consumption demand for only to meet the basic needs of basic life,The basic consumption needs of elderly rural families in food and health care are not yet met.In addition,by comparing the size of the influence factors of the consumption structure of urban and rural young and elderly households,this paper concludes that the income gap is the main factor affecting the change of the consumption structure of elderly households,and that the education level will also have a certain influence on the change of the consumption structure of the elderly households,and the family financial assets have no effect on the change of the consumption structure of the elderly households.Furthermore,by comparing the characteristics of urban and rural young,elderly families and all urban and rural households consumption structure,we can draw:With the family population structure tends to "old-age type",urban and rural elderly families,food,clothing,health care expenditure proportion gradually increased,transportation,communication,culture and entertainment expenditure gradually decreased.
