Distinctively Elderly Mobility: Types and Determinants
利用罗德岛成年居民的纵向数据,识别出老年人特有的流动性类型,并分析年龄、婚姻状况、住房状态等社会人口特征与不同迁移行为(如寻求帮助、为养老做准备、迁往宜居地)的关联。
"Distinctive types of mobility are identified for the [U.S.] elderly, many of whom also move for traditional reasons. Using a longitudinal data set from adult residents in Rhode Island, univariate, chi square, and logit analyses indicate associations between sociodemographic characteristics of the elderly and their mobility behavior. Mobility for assistance reasons is associated with older age, unmarried status, higher previous mobility, and renter status. Mobility in preparation for aging (e.g., to an elderly complex) is more likely for unmarried, previously mobile residents. Out-of-state mobility to amenity destinations is not limited to the elderly, but younger, married, more affluent elderly were more likely to make such moves."
