Abstract

With the convergence of urbanization and population aging, the size of the "floating elderly" population-those who relocate to live with their children to care for their grandchildren-continues to expand. Their life satisfaction is closely related to individual well-being and social stability. In this paper, from the perspective of population migration, the research on the life satisfaction of "floating elderly" is systematically sorted out, and its theoretical basis and core research framework of "external environment internal individual" are analyzed. It focuses on the mechanism of the three key influence dimensions of institutional environment, social integration and family support. Based on this, this paper proposes to deepen the reform of the household registration system, strengthen the supply of social security and pension services for the "floating elderly", build a community integration platform, enhance inter-generational support, and improve the "floating elderly" rights and interests protection system.
