Faced with severe and growing social inequality among elderly individuals, a more complete understanding of the interconnection between the seasonal migration of the elderly and climate change is clearly needed. This paper tries to clarify the relation between the seasonal migration of the elderly and climate change from a multidimensional perspective. Our study adds to the research on population aging against the background of climate change. This study shows that climate change has a significant impact on regional population aging and that there are significant internal differences between the distribution and scale of the migratory elderly stemming from unequal environmental conditions. Advanced economic conditions and relatively comfortable environments have put some pressure on social endowment services in the three provinces of Northeast China, especially Liaoning Province. With their complex migration mechanism, the fate of the elderly in mainland China is closely intertwined with climatic factors, individual and socioeconomic conditions, traditional cultural backgrounds, etc. A comparatively advanced economy, well-developed endowment resources, and a comfortable environment will help in the development of regional aging resources. Regional inequality and the pursuit of a meaningful life have created different categories of migratory elderly.
面对老年人中日益严重和严重的社会不平等，显然需要更全面地了解老年人季节性迁移与气候变化之间的相互联系。本文试图从多维角度阐明老年人季节性迁移与气候变化之间的关系。我们的研究增加了气候变化背景下人口老龄化的研究。本研究表明，气候变化对区域人口老龄化有重大影响，而且由于环境条件不平等，迁徙老年人的分布和规模存在显著的内部差异。发达的经济条件和相对舒适的环境给东北三省，特别是辽宁省的社会养老服务带来了一定压力。由于其复杂的迁移机制，中国大陆老年人的命运与气候因素、个人和社会经济条件、传统文化背景等密切相关。相对先进的经济、发达的养老资源和舒适的环境将有助于发展区域老龄化资源。地区不平等和对有意义生活的追求造就了不同类别的迁徙老年人。
