摘要：

本文使用2006年全国社会综合调查的抽样数据，分析了老年人的居住模式、与子女的居住距离和儿女数量对子女赡养行为的影响。研究发现，老人的居住模式和居住距离并不明显影响子女给予的经济支持，但会影响子女在日常照料和情感慰藉方面给予的支持。有同住子女的父母可以得到子女更频繁的关心和照顾，而空巢家庭的父母从子女处获得的日常照料和经济支持则较少；子女居住得离父母越近，则越经常给予父母日常照料和情感慰藉。研究也发现，子女给予父母各方面照料的频繁程度不受兄弟姐妹数量的影响，独生子女并不比非独生子女更频繁地照顾父母。

Abstract:

Using data from the 2006 General Social Survey， this paper analyzes how elders’ residential arrangements， living distances from children and the number of children influence the children’s caregiving behaviors. The study finds that， although the residential arrangements of the elders and living distances from their children do not affect significantly the economic support given by the children， they affect the daily care and emotional support from the children. The parents coresiding with their children receive care and emotional support more frequently on a daily basis than those living independently. The shorter the living distance， the more daily care and emotional support given by the children. The study also shows that， the frequency of a child’s caregiving is not affected by the number of siblings s/he has. Single children do not care for their parents more frequently than nonsingle children.
