Based on data of 546 empty nesters in rural areas,the factors influencing life quality satisfaction of empty nesters in rural areas are firstly analyzed using ordered logit model,and then the relationship between various influencing factors is analyzed using ISM. Study shows that health condition,degree of participation in cultural and sports activities,spouse status,family harmony degree,annual family income,degree of worry about life,degree of government and social care and pension mode,have a significant impact on the life quality satisfaction of empty nesters in rural areas.The degree of worry about life,degree of government and social care are surface direct factors; degree of participation in cultural and sports activities,family harmony degree,pension mode are intermediate indirect factors; health condition,spouse status and annual family income are deep root factors.展开更多

By means of questionnaire survey and interview,this paper analyzed basic situations of empty nesters in Tulu Village of Hunchun City in Jilin Province,including economic level,physical health,life care,and spirit situations. Next,it discussed major problems in endowment problem of empty nesters,including limited economic support,unoptimistic physical health,low ability of life care,and feeling of loneliness. Finally,it came up with pertinent recommendations on the basis of the analysis,including strengthening family endowment ability and improving socialized endowment service,strengthening practical living ability,improving life care ability with family endowment as primary and community endowment as auxiliary part,and expanding amusement and recreation ways of empty nesters.展开更多
