This study investigated the relationships between social capital and preferences for aging in place among older urban adults in eastern China.
Quota sampling was used to recruit 456 respondents aged 60 and older from Gusu District, Suzhou City, in 2015. Random-effects logistic regression was used to test the proposed model.
Respondents who had better quality family social capital, a higher level of social trust, and more organization memberships were more likely to choose to live in local communities, even after we controlled for individual characteristics.
The findings highlight the important role of both family and community social capital in influencing preferences for aging in place among older adults in urban China. This is particularly important for developing long-term care systems for older adults living in naturally occurring retirement communities.
本研究旨在探讨中国东部城市老年人口的社会资本与就地养老偏好之间的关系。
2015 年，采用配额抽样的方法，从苏州市姑苏区招募了 456 名 60 岁及以上的受访者。采用随机效应逻辑回归检验提出的模型。
在控制了个体特征后，那些家庭社会资本质量更好、社会信任度更高、组织参与度更高的受访者更有可能选择居住在当地社区。
研究结果强调了家庭和社区社会资本在影响中国城市老年人就地养老偏好方面的重要作用。这对于发展自然形成的退休社区中老年人的长期护理系统尤为重要。
