摘　　要：本文利用联合国世界人口展望的相关数据资料,对我国人口老龄化过程中女性化趋势的特点和变化趋势以及相关的影响因素进行了探讨。研究发现,与绝大多数国家一样,我国也存在老年人口的女性化现象,但在相当一段时间内我国老年人口中的女性比例低于世界多数国家的水平,且老年妇女中高龄老人所占比重相对较低,这是我国社会中长期存在的性别歧视所导致的女性死亡水平相对偏高所致。随着未来我国社会经济的发展,特别是女性各年龄段死亡风险的进一步降低,未来我国老年人口的女性化程度将逐步加深。Based on the data of World Population Prospects 2010 visions,the paper analysis the feminization of old population in China.It is proved that like most countries of the world there exists the feminization of old population in China population,but both the level of the feminization of old population and the proportion of the oldest women among old women are much lower than the other countries.The paper point out that the higher mortality of female caused by gender discrimination in China contributes to the exceptional status of China.As the female mortality decreases with the soci-economic development,the level of feminization of old population in China will increase in the next decades.
