摘要
文章基于2018年中国健康与养老追踪调查数据(CHARLS),使用工具变量法实证检验中国居民健康代际传递的作用程度和传递机制。结果发现:(1)中国居民家庭存在健康代际传递现象,父代健康水平对子代健康水平有显著正向影响,父代健康水平越好,越能提高子代健康水平向上提升的概率。(2)健康代际传递程度在子代是否与父代同住、子代受教育程度、城乡和性别方面存在异质性。父代健康行为方式会对子代产生影响;子代受教育水平在小学及以下和大学及以上的健康代际传递程度较大;农村居民的健康代际传递程度高于城市;女性高于男性。(3)健康代际传递的3条可观测路径共解释代际相关性的35.2%,父代健康水平的直接效应对健康代际传递的贡献率最大,提高父代健康认知有利于促进健康代际正向传递。因此,需要构建阻隔代际健康不良传递的机制,重视健康人力资本的代际传递,提高全民健康的公共政策应以家庭为单位,促进家庭健康代际良性互动。
Using the data of CHARLS 2018 and the instrumental variable method, this paper empirically tests the intergenerational transmission of health among Chinese residents and its mechanism. The first finding is that there is a health intergenerational transmission phenomenon in Chinese resident families. The health level of parents has a significant positive impact on the health level of children. The better the health level of parents, the better the health level of children. Secondly, the scale of health intergenerational transmission is heterogeneous in terms of whether the offspring live with their parents, their education level, urban and rural areas and gender. The health behavior of parents has an impact on the health behavior of children in the family system. The scale of health intergenerational transmission has a more significant impact on the offspring with education level below primary school and above university. The scale of health intergenerational transmission of rural residents and women are higher than those of cities and men. The above three observable paths of health intergenerational transmission explain 29.24% of intergenerational correlation. Improving the level ofhealth cognition is conducive to curb the adverse transmission of health intergenerational. Therefore, we should build a circular transmission effect mechanism to block the solidification of health, pay attention to the intergenerational transmission of health human capital, and initiate public policy to improve the health of whole people which takes the family as the basic unit.
