摘　　要：通过文献回顾以及构建引入婚姻支出的OLG模型,推导子女成婚影响父母生活满意度的假说,并使用2015年中国健康与养老追踪调查数据进行实证检验。研究发现女儿在提升父母生活满意度方面具有正向作用。在代际关系转换前,婚姻市场挤压使得彩礼、买房等导致男性竞争压力向家庭传导,婚姻支出降低了未婚儿子父母的生活满意度;成婚后子女经济支持差距缩小,子女通过向父母提供经济支持提升满意度的差异较小,尽管经济上儿子会损害父母的生活满意度,但儿子和女儿如果成婚较早都能改善父母的满意度。Through literature review and construction of the OLG model that introduces marriage expenditures,the study derives the hypothesis that children’s marriage affects parents’life satisfaction,and uses the 2015 China Health and Pension Tracking Data for empirical testing.The study found that daughters have a positive role in improving parents’life satisfaction.Before the intergenerational relationship was transformed,the marriage market squeezed making male gifts,house buying,etc.the pressure of male competition to the family,and the marriage expenditure reduced the life satisfaction of the parents of unmarried sons.The difference in economic support to increase satisfaction is relatively small.Although the son financially damages the parent’s life satisfaction,the son and daughter can improve their parents’satisfaction early in their marriage.
