“…Consequently, we adopt whether respondents use Alipay or WeChat payment as the proxy variable of mobile payment, which is 1 if they had used them and 0 otherwise. Learning from prior SWB research [97,[100][101][102], this paper adds a series of covariates to consider the effects of demographic and socioeconomic factors on SWB. These variables are gender, age, age-squared/100, ethnicity, political belief, household registration, marital status, education status, income, work status, social security, housing condition, and the household size.…”

While the prior mobile payment−subjective well-being (SWB) literature has mainly discussed its economic and social impacts, the present study supplements this body of research by introducing an economic–social–environmental perspective. Using two waves of representative Chinese national surveys, the instrumental variable (IV) estimator suggests that mobile payment is positively and statistically significantly correlated with SWB. Furthermore, the results reveal that the positive correlation comes from the compound influence of economic, social, and environmental channels. Specifically, it shows that mobile payment not only affects people’s economic and social performance but also mitigates the adverse effects of poor environmental conditions on SWB. Additionally, a further disaggregated analysis shows that mobile payment exerts a stronger positive influence on SWB for people from underdeveloped areas within the economic–social–environmental framework. These findings shed light on the role of financial technology in facilitating sustainable development.

“…The attainment of enhanced well-being during the twilight years constitutes a paramount objective for ageing individuals, their progeny, and society at large (Mugomeri et al 2017;Vaarama, 2009). This aspiration is subject to the influence of multifarious factors, encompassing but not limited to, physical health status (Bai et al 2020), mental health complications (Hussenoeder et al 2021), engagement in social and leisure pursuits (Zhang et al 2022;Dong and Li, 2020), participation in cultural activities and the observance of filial piety (Tao et al 2021), policy-related determinants such as China's one-child policy (Gustafson and Huang, 2014), and infrastructural elements like the New Rural Cooperative Medical System (NRCMS, Shen et al 2012).…”

This study explores the fulfillment of multiple needs of older adults in rural China by adapting and aligning two polycentric systems from the perspective of intergenerational relationships. Utilizing the fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) methodology, it pinpoints crucial nesting points that facilitate the integration of the two systems. The study emphasizes maximizing the potential of these nesting points to achieve a cohesive systemic structure. Consequently, it suggests the development of an organizational-level polycentric framework that integrates the comparative advantages (on exploiting various nesting points) of various entities such as nuclear families, village self-governing organizations, government agencies, commercial enterprises, educational institutions, and others. This framework is capable of leveraging its spontaneous order to effectively tackle the challenges associated with ageing in rural areas. This study addresses the gap in the literature concerning an in-depth understanding of tackling rural ageing issues using a polycentric lens.

A sweet burden? The effect of bride prices on parents' health

The bride price, as an informal institution originated from traditional culture, is pervasive in many areas of the developing world in a form of a payment from the family of the groom to that of the bride at marriage. We study the effects of bride price on parents' health in China. Using information on bride price payment and various health measures from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, we find that the bride price significantly reduces self‐reported health among the grooms' parents after addressing the endogeneity issue with average sex ratio within a family computed as an instrumental variable. The reductions are heterogenous across urban and rural areas. Mechanism analysis suggests the negative health outcomes are driven by family debt, heavier psychological stress and longer work hours caused by bride price payments.
