Abstract

Under the Confucian culture of “family ugliness must not be exposed†, the elderly in China often choose to be aggrieved/remain silent when facing domestic abuse. Based on the data of the fourth sample survey of urban and rural elderly living conditions in China in 2015 (N=19,940), this study used the Logit model to analyze the influencing factors of the risk of family abuse and the choice of remaining silent of the elderly. The results showed that the annual incidence of domestic abuse among the elderly in China was 5.36%, and the proportion of those who chose to remain silent was 35.77%. The more sons, the higher the risk of domestic abuse in the elderly and whether the elderly choose to remain silent, and the more daughters, the higher the risk of domestic abuse in the elderly, but whether they remain silent is not significant. Overall, it shows that “raising children does not prevent old age†, and to be precise, it cannot prevent the occurrence of elderly abuse.
