【内容提要】互助养老是国家应对人口老龄化问题的顶层设计之一,但其实际参与情况不容乐观。基于对北京、石家庄和廊坊633 名城市社区老人的数据,从社会性别视角分析不同性别老人在互助养老意愿、形式偏好和服务内容偏好上的差异。不同性别老人在互助养老意愿、服务形式偏好上有明显差异,在服务内容偏好上无明显差异,但女性老人的生活照料服务的供需差异相较男性老人更大。未来应积极关注女性老人的参与意愿,根据两性老人对互助养老形式的偏好发展互助养老,并在生活照料等刚需服务上提供第三方服务作为补充。

Analysis of Gender Differences in Mutual Support Willingness, Service Form Preference, and Service Content Preference among Older Adults
Yi Zhiqi,Sui Yujie,Sun Jinming
Abstract: Promoting mutual support among older adults is one of the top level social policies in China to address population aging but in reality, the actual participation of mutual support is not optimal. Based on the data sample of 633 elderly people in urban communities in Beijing, Langfang, and Shijiazhuang, this study analyzed the differences in mutual support willingness, service form preference and mutual support service content preference of different genders from a social gender perspective. The results indicated that there were notable distinctions in the willingness of older adults of different genders to engage in mutual support and in their preferences for service forms. However, with regard to service content, while there are no discernible differences between the genders, the disparity between the supply and demand for daily life care services is considerably greater for elderly women than for elderly men. Consequently, proactive consideration should be given to the participation willingness of elderly women in future mutual support initiatives, mutual support for the elderly should be structured in accordance with the preferences of elderly people of both genders, and essential services like daily life care should be supplemented with third-party services.
