摘要: This paper examines the extent to which childhood circumstances contribute health inequality in old age and how contributions may vary across key dimensions of health. We link China Health Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) 2013 2015 with its Life History Survey 2014 quantify due for they have little control. evaluate comprehensive ranging from cognitive health, mental physical self-rated mortality. Our analytic sample includes about 8,000 Chinese persons above 60. Using Shapley value decomposition approach, we first show that explain 1-23 percent multiple outcomes. Second, while both direct health-related indirect significantly inequality, latter tends be more sizable. findings support a life course approach identifying determinants age.
