This study measured the social participation score of the Chinese elderly, described its decayed trajectory based on birth cohort, and analyzed the gender differences of factors that affected the social participation of the elderly based on MIMIC model by groups. Results showed that age, economic status, and living status were the influencing factors with significant gender differences on social participation level of Chinese elderly. At any age, the social participation of Chinese elderly women was lower than that of elderly men, and this gap widened with age. Social participation of older women was more vulnerable to economic conditions. Living with children had a significant negative impact on the social participation of elderly women. There was no significant gender difference in the influence of marital status and educational level on the social participation of the elderly.
本研究测量了中国老年人的社会参与评分，根据出生队列描述了其衰减轨迹，并通过群组的 MIMIC 模型分析了影响老年人社会参与的因素的性别差异。结果表明，年龄、经济状况和生活状况是影响中国老年人社会参与水平的具有显著性别差异的因素。在任何年龄，中国老年女性的社会参与都低于老年男性，而且这种差距随着年龄的增长而扩大。老年女性的社会参与更容易受到经济条件的影响。与子女同住对老年女性的社会参与有显著的负面影响。婚姻状况和教育水平对老年人社会参与的影响在性别上没有显著差异。
