| As the development of society and the boost of life health level, the age of Chinese rise gradually. Since 1970s, Chinese government carried out family planning policy, as a result of this, the Chinese fertility rate declined continuously, which speed up the aged tendency of Chinese population. According to the latest data comes from sixth national population census, the population of Chinese old people whose age above 60 accounts for 13.26 percent of total population of China, what’s more, the people above 65 cover 8.87 percent of total population. China’s economy experienced a rapid growth in the past 30 years. However, our country is still a middle income developing country, so that we may meet a dilemma that "aging before getting rich". The huge demographic bonus converts to pension problem, and the current situation of aged people is not optimistic anymore. Chinese government is responding to aged puzzle positively, and policy-making put more attention to the medical treatment, insurance, and pension of aged people. Yet, the pattern of aged people’s life model is the first question. The life model pattern of aged people in China are family supporting, retirement organization supporting, and live by oneself. But the retirement organization in China is still not mature, and family supporting is a main choice of elder.Traditionally, the parents bring their children up when they are young, on the other hand, their children support them when they old. "Respect the old and cherish the young" is a traditional virtue, and it still plays a role in today’s society. Most people believe that "the son can support parents in their old age", and they take children’s support as the main dependent. Actually, in today’s China, a large number of elder people live with their children in the last time of their lives, and take care by their children. Therefore, traditional family supporting still plays significant role in today’s society, and the economy and labor service from children to parents still exist and important.This paper analyzes the international transport between elder family and their children’s family established in existing data. The purpose of this essay is excavating the motive of this transport, and reflecting the current situation of elder people’s family supporting situation, which can offer reliable evidence from micro-data and has crucial theological and practical significance.The data of this paper comes from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), and use survey data of the whole nation in 2013 year, and the research purpose is analyzing the wealth transport situation and motivation of Chinese family. By study the relationship between the characteristic variable of parents and children and economy and goods transportation of both sides, the paper analysis the influence factor of parents to children family and children family to parents respectively. The Probit model is used to analysis the influence factor of the transportation possibility, and the Tobit model is used to analysis the influence factor of the transportation scale. In addition to this, the exchange theory of motivation and selfless theory of motivation is used to study the wealth transportation motivation in Chinese family. All of this can support empirical evidence of retirement, and help to policy making. In addition, as the dual structure of Chinese urban and rural, the elder group is divided to rural population, peasant-worker and urban population due to the account and dwell difference of elder people. Furthermore, I establish Probit model and Tobit model to each group, and compare the difference family wealth transportation situation of Chinese urban and rural elder people.The conclusion of this essay is that:as a whole, the transportation in Chinese family is from children to parents, most of the children transfer wealth to their parents. Yet, most aged people still entitled to fixed source of revenue, what’s more, a few of old people keep work after retirement. So they can earn the life by themselves, even support their children in economic. As a result of this, children live relying on their parents is not strange in today’s society.In addition, the transfer of wealth from parents to children family is decided by the characteristic variable of parents, yet, the transfer of wealth from children family to their parents is not only decided by children’s characteristic variable but also the characteristic of their parents. Income is the main reason that influences the family transportation. The higher income level the people who transfer wealth to others, the more wealth be transported to the received family. In single-child family, the scale of wealth transportation between parents to children family is more than the multiple-child family. Looking after grandchildren, living together with children can have some influence to the wealth transportation in Chinese family. The dwell site of children has lager influence to the possibility and scale of the transportation in Chinese family.I divide the middle-aged to three types:rural population, urban population and peasant-workers. And through the study of the three different middle-aged people, I discover that the wealth transfer relationship between rural population and their children is positive, but the possibility of rural population received children’s wealth is negative correlation to parents’income level. By analysis the relationship between income and intergeneration wealth transportation, I discover that the wealth transportation in rural family draft by exchange of motivation, beyond that, most wealth transportation in Chinese family is actuated by altruistic motivation. In rural population and peasant-workers family, the wealth transportation from parents to children is partial to the son, but the daughter potential to support their family. Different from rural population and peasant-workers, the wealth transportation from urban population to child family is not influenced by age, but affected by education background. The wealth transfer probability of children to rural parents is related to children permanent residence, and if the child dwell is far from their parents, the probability is bigger. But this phenomenon is inexistence in rural.The following is the policy suggestion of this essay. The government should complete the elderly-care policy, and establish social provision positively. It is good to encourage the economic support and exchange between parents and children. In addition, it is helpful to promote public education and skill training which are benefit to employment, and as a result, this can enhance the ability that the old people can feed by themselves. Carrying out permitting a couple can bear two children positively, and give these couple some subsidy. The government should also enhance the teachers teaching level of professional academy, and train the practical ability of student. |
