Research on the Impact of Intergenerational Rearing on the Quality of the Elderly and its Coping Mechanism

As a widespread social phenomenon, intergenerational rearing has a profound impact on the quality of life of the elderly in China. This study comprehensively analyzes the multi-dimensional effects of intergenerational rearing on the quality of elderly care, and explores the promotion strategies. The study found that intergenerational rearing has a positive impact on the elderly in terms of enhancing intergenerational emotional connection, promoting health behavior and increasing social participation. However, this phenomenon is also accompanied by negative consequences such as increased physical load, increased psychological pressure and limited economic independence in the elderly. In order to improve the pension quality of the elderly, the family level and the community level should integrate resources and expand related services; the government should increase financial subsidies to further improve the old-age security system. This study not only provides theoretical support for a deep understanding of the impact of intergenerational parenting on the quality of the elderly, but also provides practical strategies and guidance for effectively responding to this challenge.
