【摘要】 中老年人劳动参与是当前人口老龄化背景下一个广受关注的话题。已有研究多数探讨社会保障和健康对中老年人劳动参与的影响,住房的作用很少受到关注。本文试图探讨住房"财富效应"和"遗赠动机"对中老年人劳动参与的影响。理论分析和基于中国健康与养老追踪调查2013年数据的实证结果表明,住房会通过"财富效应"抑制中老年人劳动参与;而"遗赠动机"对财富效应有负向调节作用,具体表现为子代中男性占比更高和有未婚男性子代的中老年人其劳动参与受住房财富效应的影响会显著降低。本文的研究结果表明,目前中国城镇中老年人持续增加的住房财富对其劳动参与形成了挤压,而中国家庭长期存在的遗赠动机会缓解住房财富效应的影响。更多还原

【Abstract】 Labor force participation among the elderly is of great concern under the current aging population in China. Many studies have focused on the impact of social security and health on labor force participation by the elderly in China,while the effect of housing wealth is rarely investigated.This paper is intended to explore effects of housing wealth and bequest on labor force participation among the elderly. Analysis based on data of CHARLS 2013 shows that housing wealth significantly reduces the likelihood of labor force participation among the elderly; while the bequest motive can weaken the housing wealth effect. That is,the housing wealth effect is significantly reduced among families with a higher ratio of male offspring or with unmarried male offspring. The results suggest that housing wealth of the elderly in urban area of China has formed a squeeze on their labor participation; nevertheless,the long-lasting legacy of Chinese family bequest can alleviate the impact of housing wealth.更多还原
