  Abstract: This paper uses the data from the social tracking survey of the elderly in China (class) to explore the effect and mechanism of pension gap on the health of the elderly in China. Using the framework of counterfactual analysis, the elderly who receive basic pension from enterprise employees are selected as the control group of the elderly who receive basic pension from government institutions, and the elderly who do not participate in basic pension insurance are selected as the control group of the elderly who receive basic pension from urban and rural residents. The results of generalized promotion regression model show that the pension gap between institutions does not accompany the significant difference of health value of the elderly, while the pension gap within institutions brings about the significant difference of health value. The mediating effect model test shows that the pension system of government institutions enlarges the inequality of pension services for the elderly, and then reduces the health level of the elderly, while the basic pension insurance system for urban and rural residents has the opposite effect. In the future, China should focus on narrowing the pension gap within the same system, reducing the inequality of pension services, and put forward specific policies and measures.
