Family support, social security, commercial insurance, and aging anxiety among Chinese residents: a study based on the 2021 CGSS data

This study highlights moderate aging anxiety among Chinese residents, particularly in rural areas, women, low-income individuals, and those in poor health. To address this, policy should prioritize strengthening the social security system, expanding pension coverage, enhancing basic pension benefits, and improving living standards for rural and low-income urban residents. These actions are crucial for safeguarding psychological well-being and ensuring social stability.
