Abstract

This paper explores the impact of retirement on the financial asset allocation of elderly households and innovatively examines the moderating effect of Confucian culture. Using data from the China Household Finance Survey, the empirical results show that older adults reduce risky assets and increase savings after retirement. Confucian cultural concepts reinforce this conservative trend. The study also reveals the heterogeneous effects of household head health, urban-rural differences, and risk attitudes on allocation. This paper provides an essential reference for optimising the allocation of older households' financial assets and addressing the ageing challenges.
