Original abstract
Beyond environmental discourse, automobility harbours profound, often overlooked, psychosocial dimensions. This pioneering study uncovers the link between household car ownership and reduced ageing anxiety in China, a nation facing rapid motorisation and an escalating older population. Employing advanced double/debiased machine learning on a nationally representative survey (N = 2068), we reveal car ownership profoundly mitigates ageing-related concerns. Crucially, this effect is highly heterogeneous, exhibiting stronger impacts for men, urban residents, and younger adults, and benefiting both low- and non-low-income groups. In contrast, women, middle-aged individuals, rural residents, and peasants report higher levels of ageing anxiety, yet no significant anxiety-mitigating effect of car ownership is observed for these groups. Our findings advocate for nuanced, targeted transport policies that transcend simplistic views, balancing sustainability with the critical imperative of fostering mental well-being in an increasingly ageing global society.
