This article takes Jilin Province as the research sample, adopts the fourth national survey data on the living conditions of elderly people in cities, and establishes an empirical model to analyze the relationship between the marital status of rural elderly people and their participation in pension insurance. The research findings indicate that individuals who have never been married have a positive impact on pension insurance; The marital status of widowhood has a positive impact on the elderly's pension insurance situation; Divorce has a positive impact on the elderly's pension insurance. The marital status of being married but not cohabiting has no significant impact on the elderly's pension insurance.
