随着中国人口老龄化的加速，预计老年丧偶个人的数量将会增加。利用2010年人口普查数据，我们估算了中国的城乡丧偶指数和男女丧偶指数。指数显示，女性老年丧偶的概率(0.68)高于男性(0.32)--没有城乡差异。中国的平均婚姻持续时间约为47年。配偶死亡后，男性丧偶的平均时间约为11年，女性约为15年。配偶年龄差异对丧偶指数有显著影响。农村人口的婚姻持续时间最短，丧偶年龄最小，丧偶时间最长。
As population ageing accelerates in China, the number of elderly widowed individuals are expected to increase. Using 2010 census data we estimate widowhood indices for rural and urban areas, and for men and women in China. The indices show that the probability of elderly widowhood to be higher for females (0.68) than males (0.32)—with no rural and urban difference. An average marriage in China lasts about 47 years. After the death of a spouse, the average duration of widowhood is about 11 years for males and about 15 years for females. Spousal age difference has a significant impact on widowhood indices. Rural populations have the shortest marriage duration and the youngest widowhood age, and longer widowhood duration.
