  Abstract: Guaranteeing the living quality of the older adults is an important part to realize the high quality development of the population, and the living arrangement of the older adults is often closely related to their later life. Based on the panel data of four waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey from 2008 to 2018, the paper analyzed the influence of different living arrangements status and their changes on the self-rated living quality of the older adults by using the time-fixed effect model. The study found that compared to the older adults living alone, those living with others report higher living quality, while among the different living situation, the older adults living only with their children report their living quality the highest. Living arrangement change also affect the self-rated living quality of the older adults. Compared with the older adults who always live with others, the older adults who always live alone and live with others before living alone are generally lower in their self-rated living quality, but living alone before living with others does not have a significant impact on their self-rated living quality. Therefore, in order to further improve the overall living quality of the older adults, the paper argues that we should focus on strengthening the life care of empty-nester older adults and the older adults living alone, and we should also strive to create comfortable and stable living conditions for the older adults.
