“…Providing more emotional support and daily care to all older groups, rather than just economic transfer, means that children and the government should pay more attention to the higher-level needs of older people [ 71 ]. We should further carry forward the traditional filial piety culture, give play to the traditional ethical role of intergenerational responsibility in providing for older people, and reshape the intergenerational responsibility ethics of pension services [ 72 ]. Furthermore, we must improve children’s awareness of supporting parents, focus on parents’ mental health, and improve their living standards.…”

Today, population aging is the main trend of population development. Home-based care is mainly adopted in Chinese society, and scholars have paid ample attention to the effect of intergenerational support on the mental health of older people. However, research conclusions differ. This study uses data from the 2018 China Health and Pension Tracking Survey (CHARLS), which we analyzed with STATA software to construct least squares regression and two-stage least squares regression models. The regression model included 6,647 respondents to investigate the mental health status of older people based on depression status. Intergenerational support was defined as economic support, emotional support, and daily care provided by the children of older people. We studied the impact of three aspects of intergenerational support on the mental health of the elderly. We performed a robustness test using the variable replacement and propensity score matching methods, and analyzed age, gender, and urban-rural heterogeneity. The results showed that economic support had no significant impact on the mental health of older people, while emotional support and daily care had a positive effect. The heterogeneity results indicated that the relationship between intergenerational support and mental health of older people differed significantly based on age, gender, and urban and rural areas. Therefore, children should raise their awareness of supporting their parents, pay attention to their parents’ mental health, and provide emotional support and daily care. Furthermore, community work improves family relations, creates a good social environment, and encourages young people to respect and be filial to older people. The government should improve the medical security system and old-age service system, and provide policy support to help the mental health of older people.

Background: The objective of this study was to have a better view of the sense and influencing factors of public medical fairness from the public perspective, which would provide objective evidence for decision-makers to facilitate the improvement of a multi-tiered medical security system. Methods: This study was based on data from the Chinese Social Survey (CSS) in 2015, 2017, and 2019; the CSS is a cross-sectional survey in China. Indicators of social-demographic characteristics were included as independent variables, while evaluation of public medical care, which we named as “sense of public medical fairness”, was selected as the dependent variable. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and multi-class logistic regression. Results: The study revealed that, from 2015 to 2019, the sense of public medical fairness significantly increased (F=64.473, P<0.0001) and there was a significant move toward the direction of “very fair” of the radar map (P<0.0001). In 2015, there was positive correlation between internet use and sense of public medical fariness, however internet usage became negative impact on the evaluation of sense of public medical fairness. Security such as pension insurance or pension, medical insurance or public medical care, maternity insurance, unemployment insurance, injury insurance and subsistence allowance are playing increasing roles in the evaluation of sense of public medical fairness and most of them had protective effect on sense of public medical fairness. Conclusion: Policy makers should promote the transformation of medical and health services in the digital era and explore and guide the positive impact of digital society on the development of medical and health services to enhance citizens' sense of fairness.

“…With the gradual improvement of China’s social elderly care security system, although people’s concept of raising children to provide against old age has not fundamentally changed, the people’s general concept of old-age care has also undergone significant changes, and the concept of “independent old-age care” has gradually taken shape [ 33 ]. Moreover, the nation continuously reinforcing the individual and independent responsibility of elderly care, the economic dependence of the elderly on their children has gradually decreased.…”

Background With the prolongation of the life expectancy of the Chinese population and the intensification of the aging process of the population, the mental health problems of the elderly have become increasingly prominent. This study aims to explore whether self-employment can promote and how to promote the mental health of the elderly. Method Based on the 2018 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS) data, this paper uses OLS model and KHB method to verify the impact of self-employment on the mental health of the younger elderly and its mechanism. Results The results indicate that self-employment can significantly reduce the depression tendency of the younger elderly and promote their mental health. Heterogeneity analysis shows that self-employment has a more significant positive impact on the mental health of the younger elderly who are self-rated healthy, free of chronic diseases and low-level medical service utilization. The mechanism shows that self-employment can indirectly improve the mental health of the younger elderly through income growth effect and self-worth realization effect, in which the self-worth realization effect is greater than the economic effect. It illustrates that with the development of China’s economy, the elderly are pursuing more intrinsic values brought by self-employment than economic benefits. Conclusion In view of the above research results, it is suggested to encourage the elderly to actively participate in social activities, provide policy support for the younger elderly to engage in self-employment, increase government support as well as health guarantee level, and improve the subjective initiative of the elderly to participate in self-employment, so that the society can truly realize the healthy aging of “being useful and productive for the elderly”.
