Description
Yaqian Mao and co-authors study daily life of older adults in Tianjin, China in 2023. Western work often finds older women worse off for travel than older men. China may differ, given its family and city patterns. The team used activity diaries and interviews with older residents.
They asked how companions shape where older men and women go and how far they travel. Women spent more time and a larger share of activity with family. Men kept their travel closer to home, while women ranged across more activity types. The study shows gender gaps in later life mobility take a local shape.
