几十年的研究表明，教育不仅能给个人带来健康益处，而且还能惠及后代。最近的研究证实，教育的代际健康效益也可以向上流动：老年人与受教育程度较高的子女享有更好的健康和生存。研究记录了高收入环境以及部分低收入和中等收入环境中的这一发现，引发了人们对在高死亡率环境中接受相对较低教育水平的成年子女可以通过何种机制受益的疑问。老年父母的福祉。在这项研究中，我们使用多层次的，长期的面板数据的一个队列的老年人从奇旺谷家庭研究在尼泊尔农村，以建立后代教育和父母的生存之间的关联是否是在这个极端贫困的，农业的背景下观察。扩展过去的研究，然后我们利用老年人的额外数据来研究后代教育与两种理论机制之间的关联：老年人更好的健康行为和晚年更大的支持。
Decades of research shows that education not only confers individual health benefits, but it also spills over to advantage subsequent generations. More recently, research has confirmed that the intergenerational health benefits of education can also flow upward: aging adults with more highly educated children enjoy better health and survival. Research has documented this finding in high-income settings, and also in select low- and middle-income contexts, raising questions about the mechanisms through which having an adult child who attended relatively low levels of education in high-mortality contexts can benefit aging parents’ well-being. In this study, we use multilevel, long-term panel data on a cohort of older adults from the Chitwan Valley Family Study in rural Nepal to establish whether the association between offspring education and parents’ survival is observable in this extremely poor, agrarian context. Extending past studies, we then leverage additional data on older adults to examine the association between offspring education and two theorized mechanisms: older adults’ better health behaviors and greater support in later life.
