Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper examines the economic status of Taiwanese elderly, focusing on the role of family support during the period 1976–2016. We use data from the Survey of Family Income and Expenditure in Taiwan. Our analysis has three main findings. First, the economic status of the Taiwanese elderly has deteriorated over the past four decades, though Taiwan has developed a comprehensive social security system since 1993. Secondly, the family still plays a crucial role in providing the elderly’s income security. Finally, the elderly head’s probability of falling into poverty is significantly affected by age, work status, educational attainment and marital status.

1976-2016年台湾老年人经济地位变化趋势:家庭支持的作用

摘要本文以1976-2016年台湾老年人的经济状况为研究对象，重点探讨家庭支持的作用。我们使用台湾家庭收入与支出调查的数据。我们的分析有三个主要发现。首先，台湾老年人的经济地位在过去40年里不断恶化，尽管台湾自1993年以来已经建立了全面的社会保障体系。其次，家庭在为老年人提供收入保障方面仍然发挥着至关重要的作用。最后，老年户主陷入贫困的概率受年龄、工作状态、受教育程度和婚姻状况的显著影响。
