Study on the difference of physical activities and static activities between urban and rural elderly and its influencing factors - Empirical Analysis Based on 2018 CLHLS Data

Abstract

Using the data of CLHLS in 2018, the differences of physical activities, static activities and influencing factors between urban and rural elderly in China were studied.The results showed that there were still significant differences in physical activities and static activities between urban and rural elderly in China (p<0.001) and the proportion of urban and rural elderly people participating in static activities is significantly higher than the proportion of physical exercise (61.62% vs 34.91%, 51.52% vs 23.63%).After controlling factors such as population, socioeconomic, lifestyle, self-evaluation health and external support, the differences in physical exercise and static activities between urban and rural elderly are actually smaller than observed.Factors of population, socioeconomic, lifestyle, self-assessment health and external support explain the differences.Not only that, some variables have different effects on physical activities and static activities.

Analysis of the Impact of FDI on Economic Growth Based on Cobb-Douglas Production Function

“…Accordingly, policy implications on how to sustain and promote the existing positive impact of FDI inflows on China's economy are proposed [3] . Based on the time series data from 2000-2015, Song Yingying (2017 did an empirical analysis of the economic growth effect of FDI using the Cobb Douglas production function model and showed that there is a long-term stable relationship between FDI inflows and GDP growth, and based on the findings also proposed countermeasures on how to better use FDI to promote economic development [4] . Liu Wenyong et al ( 2006) also construct a model based on the Cobb Douglas production function and argue the impact of FDI on China's economic development, and draw analytical conclusions from several aspects such as capital-economic growth effect, employment-economic growth effect, employment effect, export effect, and technological progress effect, and argue that FDI has both contributed to China's economic growth and posed certain threats, thus giving policy recommendations [5] .…”
