Gender differences between older girls and boys in the health care,interpersonal relationship,education and other as-pects havent existed.Individual indicators show that the living condition of older girls is even better than boys ,but the survival of rural older girls is still facing a severe situation: the demand satisfaction level of dairy products and meat or fish is lower ,the survival risk is higher due to lacking of parental care,the opportunity of accepting high quality education resources is less, the family learning condition is poorer,the expected level of educational is lower,the risk of being ignored and physically punished by teacher is higher. An analysis shows that the older girl is not affected by the generational factor in health care,but there are obvious generational differences in education,nutrition supply,physical punishment and so on. To improve the living quality of older girls,we need to focus on the out-of-school problem about older girls in the households with less education,the health and safety issues of left-behind older girls, and the problem of rural older girls physically punished by parents.
