Is Rich Associated with Leisure?The Type Differences and Influence Mechanism of Leisure Life of Rural Elderly in China:Based on the Analytical Perspective of"Regional Differences"
At present,there are obvious regional differences in the leisure life arrangement of the rural elderly in China.To clarify this difference and its influencing mechanism is necessary for effectively implementing the national strategy of actively coping with population aging in the new era.Most of the existing studies attribute the leisure difference of the elderly in rural areas to economic differentiation,ignored the important influence of factors such as village social nature and peasant families on the leisure life arrangements of the elderly,and paid insufficient attention to regional differences.Based on the perspective of"regional differences",the research shows that the leisure life of the elderly in the clannish villages in developed areas,typical of the rural areas in the Pearl River Delta,are highly legitimate and feasible,and the leisure life of the elderly is rich and diverse.The patriarchal villages in less developed areas represented by the rural areas in southern Jiangxi,and the atomized villages in less developed areas represented by the rural areas in Sichuan and Chongqing have sufficient legitimacy and strong subjectivity for the leisure life of the elderly.In Henan countryside as a typical representative of underdeveloped areas of small relatives village elderly care resources lack,lack of leisure life support,coupled with the family intergenerational responsibility imbalance,village social public opinion is not good,multiple extrusion pattern is obvious,and the leisure life space in old age is narrow.
