| 标题： Comparison of participatory activities of the urban elderly in Gyunggi Province (Korea) and Shandong Province (China) | |
| 摘要： Activity theory assumes a positive relationship between activity and life satisfaction of the elderly, and proposes that the successful aging occurs when the elderly stay alive and maintain social interactions. The elderly as getting older show lower rate of participation in various social activities. Participatory activities of the elderly may be a good indicator of the productive and active aging of the elderly. Korea and China in the East Asia are geographically very closely related. In addition to the geographical proximity, these two countries have shared many socio-cultural similarities in spite of some differences. The strong family planning programs under the strong government leadership in both Korea and China have accelerated the rapid processes of the demographic transition, especially in the process of the fertility transition. The rapid process of the fertility transition has influenced the drastic changes of the population aging in both Korea and China, which turns out to be the fastest in the world. This paper shows the trends of the rapid processes of the population aging in both Korea and China, then compares the participatory activities of the elderly. This paper will compare the different patterns of the participatory activities of the Korean and Chinese elderly focusing on the similar but different cultural background. Finally, this paper possibly analyzes the determinants of the satisfaction of the participatory activities of the elderly in both countries. Regression analysis will be employed for checking the determinants. The data for this paper were collected in Incheon-Gyeonggi Province in Korea and Shandong Province in China. Incheon-Gyeonggi Province and Shandong Province are the most closely located between Korea and China. The data are based on the same questionnaire at almost the same time, Chinese data in 2009 and Korean data in 2010. The number of the Korean data for the analysis is 1014, that for the Chinese data is 890. | |
