退休再就业对老年人精神健康的研究——基于倾向得分匹配(PSM)的实证研究

A Study of Retirement Re-Employment on the Mental Health of Older Adults—An Empirical Study Based on Propensity Score Matching (PSM)

摘要: 探讨老年人再就业与心理健康之间的联系，是促进老年人健康发展、改善人力资源供给的重要前提。基于对中国老年人的调查，运用PSM模型对老年人是否再就业与老年人心理健康状况进行了回归分析。实证结果表明：第一，与整体就业率相比，目前中国老年人的再就业率较低；第二，老年人的再就业率与健康状况呈正相关，且不显著。随着中国老龄化的加剧和即将进入快速老龄化社会，积极开发老年人力资源仍是必要的选择。本文根据PSM的实证结果提出相应的对策建议，以促进积极应对人口老龄化和健康中国战略的有效实施。

Abstract: Exploring the link between re-employment and mental health of the elderly is an important prerequisite for promoting the healthy development of the elderly and improving the supply of human resources. Based on a survey of Chinese older adults, a regression analysis of whether older adults are re-employed and the mental health status of older adults was conducted using the PSM model. The empirical results show that: first, compared with the overall employment rate, the current re-employment rate of older people in China is low; second, the re-employment rate of older people is positively and insignificantly related to their health status. With China’s aging and the imminent entry into a rapidly aging society, the active development of elderly manpower resources is still a necessary choice. Based on the empirical results of PSM, this paper proposes corresponding countermeasures to promote the effective implementation of the strategy of actively coping with population aging and healthy China.
