Study On The Impact Of Family Population On Residents' Consumption Carbon Emissions

Climate warming is the most serious climate problem facing mankind.Studies have shown that greenhouse gases produced by human activities are one of the important factors affecting climate warming.China,as the most populous country,is an active participant in addressing global climate change and implementing carbon reductions.With the rapid development of China's social economy and the increasing living standards of residents,carbon emissions from residents' energy consumption have become an important part of national carbon emissions.However,in the research unit,the research on consumer carbon emissions in the past has mostly focused on the national or provincial level,and there are relatively few studies on the carbon emission level of household consumption.Therefore,the research on household carbon emissions is not only important for restraining global warming,but also conducive to the construction of ecological civilization and the development of sustainable consumption in China.China is in a period of social transformation.Under the influence of China's birth policy and urban-rural dual system and other special social and economic structural systems,the social and family population structure is undergoing profound changes.It is now aging in China,urbanization of population,and popularization of compulsory education.Such as the environmental impact,different family populations have large differences in family size,intergenerational structure,age structure,gender structure,education level and so on.With China's current population movement and the miniaturization and structural simplification of the family size,the “Four-one-one” inverted pyramid family has gradually become a common pattern,and the proportion of special family models such as “left-behind families” and“floating families” has risen.The impact on household consumption and household consumption carbon emissions is conducive to better promoting the coordinated and healthy development of population,resources and environment,and has important practical significance for improving the scientific nature of low carbon development decision-making during the transition period.According to the above analysis,the paper firstly uses statistical data and China Household Tracking Survey Data(CFPS)to calculate and analyze the temporal and spatial variation characteristics ofhousehold consumption carbon emissions,and then analyze the family size,family intergenerational,family age structure,family gender,family through STIRPAT model.The influence of family demographics such as education and family characteristics on the carbon consumption of different types of household consumption.In order to further study the regional differences in household carbon emissions and the impact of household population structure on consumption carbon emissions,this paper will consume carbon emissions per household.The standard deviation of household carbon consumption per household consumption and the internal difference of carbon emissions of household consumption is used as an indicator.Based on the principle of extracting multi-panel data based on principal component characteristics,the households under study are clustered on different research partitions and passed.The STIRPAT model provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of household demographics on consumption of carbon emissions in different clusters.The conclusions of the study are as follows:(1)From 2010 to2016,household consumption carbon emissions mainly changed from carbon emissions from food consumption to carbon emissions from residential consumption.The overall difference in carbon emissions from urban and rural household consumption is gradually narrowing,and inter-regional and intra-regional consumption The overall difference in carbon emissions is expanding.As far as the overall research family is concerned,the household carbon consumption per household increased from 4,767.39 kg/household in2010 to 8702.89 kg/household in 2016,and the per capita consumption carbon emission of households increased from 1247.64 kg/person in 2010 to 2407.91 kg/person in 2016.But the growth rate has declined.(2)From the analysis of the urban and rural attributes,the increase of urban households will promote the increase of household consumption carbon emissions,but it has a negative impact on the carbon emissions of health care consumption.From different research areas,the impact of household urban and rural attributes on household low-carbon emission areas is more significant than that of household consumption high-carbon emission areas,and the effect is more obvious.(3)From the analysis of family size and family intergenerational relationship,family size miniaturization and structural simplification will promote the decline of household consumption carbon emissions,but the impact on household consumption carbon emissions is not significant.The impact of family size on different study areas is similar to that of the overall study family.The impact of family size on family education culture and entertainment consumption carbon emissions is obvious,and the intensity difference affecting different study areas is small at 2.5649.Between-2.8986,the impact of family size on household carbon consumption is not significant or significant.(4)From the average age analysis of the family,the average age of the family has a great influence on the carbon consumption of different types of consumption.Generally speaking,the higher the average age of the family,the higher the carbon consumption of household consumption,so the deepening of the aging population will produce more High consumption of carbon emissions.For different study areas,the average age of the family has a high impact on household carbon consumption,household supplies,and other services,and the elasticity coefficient is between 4.188-7.2536 and 3.7799-5.9298.(5)From the analysis of family age structure,the higher the proportion of elderly and children in the family,will increase the carbon consumption of household consumption to a certain extent.Therefore,the increase in the proportion of left-behind families and direct families will result in family living,education and culture.Increased carbon emissions from entertainment,other supplies and services.With the full implementation of the “second child” policy,the proportion of households and children will increase,and to a certain extent,it will put pressure on the emission reduction of household housing,education,culture and entertainment,and other goods and services.
