Note: robust standard errors in brackets. The symbols , , and indicate statistical significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1% levels, respectively. And the control variables are the same as in Table 4. The per capita net income of the elderly is divided into four groups, and the results in the table compare the results of the lowest income group (25%) and the highest income group (75%).
