Abstract:

Hong Kong has entered the "super-aged society". Cross-border elderly care cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) will not only reduce the burden of elderly care in Hong Kong, but also promote the development of "silver economy" in mainland China. However, systematic research on the willingness of the Hong Kong elderly for cross-border elderly care and its influencing factors remains scarce. Based on a large-scale questionnaire survey, this paper employed discriminant analysis to predict the willingness of cross-border elderly care of the Hong Kong elderly with different socio-demographic characteristics, aiming to provide practical guidance for future research and policy formulation. The findings are as follows: ① Among 1131 Hong Kong old people, 46.32% preferred Hong Kong for elderly care, 43.42% preferred mainland China for elderly care, and 10.34% preferred both places for elderly care. ② The Hong Kong elderly who stayed in mainland China for a longer time, had a stronger social network in mainland China, and had higher proficiency in Mandarin preferred elderly care in mainland China, while those with higher education level preferred elderly care in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, birthplace, marital status and economic level were also important discriminating factors that affected their willingness of cross-border elderly care; ③ The overall discrimination accuracy of the model was 79.6%, the correct discrimination rates of the "elderly care in Hong Kong" group, the "elderly care in mainland China" group, and the "elderly care in both Hong Kong and mainland China" group were 87.2%, 84.3%, and 25.6% respectively. Based on the status quo of cross-border elderly care and the results above, three potential suggestions are put forward to promote the development of cross-border elderly care in the GBA, including promoting the standardization of cross-border elderly care services and mutual recognition of professional qualifications, enhancing cross-border healthcare information docking, and formulating differentiated policies and measures for specific elderly care groups.

摘要:

当前,香港已步入“超高龄社会”,老年人赴粤港澳大湾区跨境养老,既有效减轻了香港的养老负担,又能促进内地“银发经济”的发展。然而,当前对香港老年人跨境养老意愿及其影响因素的系统研究仍较缺乏。本文基于大规模问卷调查,运用判别分析法预测不同特征香港老年人的跨境养老意愿,旨在为后续研究及政策制定提供决策支撑。研究发现:①1 131名受访者中,46.32 %选择留港养老,43.42 %选择内地养老,10.34 %选择同时在两地养老;②香港老年人群体中,在内地逗留时间较长、内地社交网络较强及精通普通话者倾向于内地养老,教育水平较高者倾向于香港养老,同时出生地、婚姻状况、经济水平也是左右其养老地选择的重要判别因素;③模型总体判别分类正确率为79.6 %,“香港养老” “内地养老” “同时在两地养老”3组的正确判别率分别为87.2 %、84.3 %、25.6 %。结合跨境养老现状与研究结果,本文提出推进跨境养老服务标准化与专业资格互认、增强跨境医疗信息对接、为特定养老人群制定差异化措施3个建议以推动大湾区跨境养老发展。
