中文摘要：

利用城市独居老年人的问卷调查数据,探讨了独居老年人赡养和子女之间的代际支持的特点。发现：在独居老年人的代际支持中,在经济支持、生活照顾、精神慰藉方面,子女对老年人提供支持比例均高于父母对子女提供支持的比率;随着年龄的增长,独居老年人向子女提供支持的比例低于接受子女支持的比例,这表明老年人的独居实际上是赡养阶段;女性独居老年人更可能获得子女在精神方面的支持;收入的影响主要体现在向下的代际支持方面,收入越高的老年人,越有可能帮助子女;不同地区的代际支持模式表现出一定的差异,山东地区的老年人更多地支持子女。

英文摘要：

A questionnaire survey is done regarding how the elderly in cities maintain their lives and how intergenerational support is conducted between the elderly and their children.Data analysis shows that children provide more economic support,care in daily life,and spiritual comfort than their parents do in terms of intergenerational support.With the advance of their old age,the elderly provide their children with even less support.It means that the period in which the elderly live alone is actually the period for them to receive support,and the woman elderly usually receive more spiritual support.In terms of the impact of income upon intergenerational support,it shows that the higher the income of the elderly is,the more likely they will help their children.Intergenerational support also reflects regional differences.The elderly in Shandong province offer more support to their children than those in other provinces or districts.
