摘要:

随着中国进入老龄化加速阶段,老年人口的规模不仅快速扩大,而且异地迁移也逐渐增多。老年人口迁移不仅直接影响个体家庭福祉,而且对迁入迁出地的人口结构和社会经济发展产生影响,但目前聚焦于这一现象的学术与政策研究尚有不足。论文从老年人口迁移的空间格局、决策机制和影响效应3个方面梳理既有国内外文献,发现:① 空间格局上,老年人口迁移存在长距离中小城市迁移、长距离大城市迁移、短距离郊区迁移和短距离中心城区迁移4种模式,不同国家、不同发展阶段具有不同特点;② 决策机制上,老年人口迁移意愿受到经济、健康、舒适和归属等需求因素的驱动,而迁移能力则受到生理、经济与社会基础等因素影响;③ 影响效应上,老年人口迁移对个体身心健康、社会融入以及区域的经济社会发展均会产生显著影响。未来研究需要进一步夯实研究的数据和方法基础,并构建符合中国国情的理论框架,从而为积极应对人口老龄化、推动老年友好城乡建设提供科学依据。

Abstract:

With the acceleration of population aging in China, the scale of the elderly migration is gradually increasing. Elderly migration might exert a significant impact on personal well-being, regional age structure, and the development of the society and economy. However, academic and policy studies focusing on this phenomenon are few. This article reviewed the relevant literature from three aspects of elderly migration: spatial pattern, the decision-making mechanism, and impact. The study revealed that: 1) In terms of spatial pattern, four main types are identified—long-distance migration to small cities, long-distance migration to big cities, short-distance migration to the suburban areas, and short-distance migration to central urban districts. Different countries show different characteristics. 2) In terms of the decision-making mechanism, elderly migration is driven by the needs of economic support, health care, comfort, and sense of belonging, while personal physiological, economic, and social factors affect the ability to migrate. 3) In terms of impact, elderly migration exerts influence on individual physical and mental health, social integration, regional economic and social development. Future study needs to consolidate abundant research data and methods, construct an effective theoretical framework, thus provide a scientific basis for the implementation of population aging strategy and the construction of an age-friendly city.
