摘要：

本文应用2008年"山东省农村养老保障现状与需求调查"课题组提供的相关数据,探讨了山东省农村老年人的劳动供给的基本特点,并对影响老年人劳动供给的因素进行深入分析,重点考察了心理健康因素及家庭支出水平对老年人劳动供给的影响。研究结果表明:老年人劳动很大程度上是为了获取一定的收入以维持日常生活的需要;孤独感强的老年人下地干活或工作的时间更长,有可能通过增加劳动供给时间,获得心理上的满足,这会缓解老年人的孤独感,增强老年人的自信心;与子女同住或接受来自子女的经济支持一般不会改变农村老年人的劳动供给行为,仅仅是家庭生命周期内家庭结构变迁的一种表现形式。

Using the data from investigation of present situation and demands of the elderly support in rural,Shandong Province in 2008,the article discusses the elementary characteristics of the labor supply and the influence factors of the elderly in rural,Shandong Province. The effect of mental health and family expenditures is the main point of discussion. The results show that the main motive of the elderly labor supply in rural China is to earn some money to meet the daily living needs. The stronger lonely elderly people would work longer. Possibly,through increasing working time,the elderly would get mental satisfaction,ease the aloneness and enhance their self-confidence; Living with children or accepting financial support from children generally do not change the labor supply
