September 2024
Objective: To analyze the degree, evolution and causes of socioeconomic inequality in perceived access to health services among the older adults in China.
Methods: The data used in this study were drawn from the 4 waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) in 2008, 2011, 2014, 2018. Erreygers index (EI) was used to measure socioeconomic inequality in perceived access to health services in each survey wave.
Introduction: The digital financial inclusion (DFI) provides opportunities to improve the relative capacity to pay for healthcare services by rural residents who are usually underserved by traditional finance in China. This paper provides empirical evidence on how the development of DFI affects the healthcare expenditure disparities between urban and rural residents.
Methods: We employed the fixed effects model and instrumental variable method to estimate the impact of DFI on the Theil index of urban-rural disparities in healthcare expenditures, using panel data from 31 provinces (2011 ~ 2020) in China.
