OBJECTIVE
To examine the extent to which an association exists between health of older parents and return migration of children in rural Thailand.
METHOD
Data come from the 2006 Migration Impact Survey specifically designed to obtain information on the impact of migration on older adults in rural areas. Associations are examined from both the perspectives of parents (N = 883) and migrating children (N = 2,150) using equations that adjust for demographic characteristics of parents and children and factors that may indicate unmet support needs.
RESULTS
A robust association with poor health promoting migration returns from both parent and child perspective exists and remains even with controls that might attenuate the relationship.
DISCUSSION
Although media discussions have pointed out dangers of out-migration for older adults, little systematic evidence exists. This study supports the viewpoint that accommodations for older adults can be made despite social changes promoting out-migration and demographic aging of the population.
目的
探讨老年父母的健康状况与泰国农村子女返乡迁移之间的关联程度。
方法
数据来自 2006 年移民影响调查，该调查专门收集有关移民对农村地区老年人影响的信息。使用调整父母和子女人口特征以及可能表明支持需求未得到满足的因素的方程，从父母（N=883）和迁移子女（N=2150）两个角度来检验关联。
结果
从父母和子女的角度来看，健康状况不佳与促进迁移返回之间存在着强有力的关联，即使在可能减弱这种关系的控制因素存在的情况下也是如此。
讨论
尽管媒体讨论指出了老年人外迁的危险，但很少有系统的证据。本研究支持这样一种观点，即尽管社会变化推动了外迁和人口老龄化，但仍可以为老年人做出适当的安排。
