Abstract

This paper analyzes the status of Chinese elderly identity by using the survey data of China's elderly social tracking survey (CLASS) 2012.The results show the obvious tendency of younger identity of the elderly than their actual age and the proportion of identity is higher. Physical health, its changes and life events have a significant impact on the identity of elderly in China; social security has no significant influence on the identity of the elderly, and the identity of the elderly without medical assurance tends to be younger than those with medical security.
