The purpose of this paper is to provide theoretical references for the development of elderly manpower resources in China by exploring the impact of education level on the re-employment of urban low-aged elderly. Based on the baseline data of the 2018 China Health and Aging Tracking Survey (CHARLS) and using Logit regression analysis, this paper selects urban low-aged older adults as the research object, and examines the impact of educational attainment on the re-employment of urban low-aged older adults by controlling for the variables of gender, age, the number of children, and pension level. The results of the study show that there is a negative correlation between the re-employment status of the urban elderly and their education level, in which the possibility of re-employment after retirement decreases for those with junior high school education compared to those with elementary school education or below. The study suggests that the government can encourage more older people to return to the labor market by developing jobs for older people and providing incentives for retired older people with high levels of education.

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to provide theoretical references for the development of elderly manpower resources in China by exploring the impact of education level on the re-employment of urban low-aged elderly. Based on the baseline data of the 2018 China Health and Aging Tracking Survey (CHARLS) and using Logit regression analysis, this paper selects urban low-aged older adults as the research object, and examines the impact of educational attainment on the re-employment of urban low-aged older adults by controlling for the variables of gender, age, the number of children, and pension level. The results of the study show that there is a negative correlation between the re-employment status of the urban elderly and their education level, in which the possibility of re-employment after retirement decreases for those with junior high school education compared to those with elementary school education or below. The study suggests that the government can encourage more older people to return to the labor market by developing jobs for older people and providing incentives for retired older people with high levels of education.
