摘要
本文在老龄化、少子化社会背景下,通过分析2016年中国老年社会追踪调查数据,从代际关系、文化观念和个人因素三个角度分析独子老人养老安排及其影响因素,讨论独子老人面对的养老问题。研究发现独子老人及其子女的经济状况、独子老人的养老观念对养老安排具有显著直接影响。尽管代际关系不是养老安排的直接影响因素,但代际关系中的情感亲近程度以及经济支持的流向会通过影响养老观念这一中介变量进而影响独子老人的养老安排。本文呼吁关注独生子女父母的养老问题,并提出相关政策建议。
The family planning policy implemented by China since the 1970s,especially the one-child policy,has rapidly reduced China’s fertility rate and population growth rate in about 40 years.But it has also created a large number of only-child families.Today,the parents of the first only-child generation have already entered the old age,and in the next 10-30 years,there will be more only-child elderly parents in Chinese society.Although the Chinese government has adjusted its fertility policy in recent years,these adjustments will not have an immediate effect on the population and family structure.The willingness of women of childbearing age in China to have children remains at a relatively low level,so there will be a large number of one-child families in the future.On the other hand,it cannot solve the existing one-child family’s old-age care problem,and may even make the“4-2-1”family structure change to“4-2-2”or“4-2-3”,which can bring greater elderly caring pressure to the society.These social contexts and public issues call for the attention of the academia and us on this question:how will the only-child elderly parents arrange and plan their old life?From the cultural perspective,the traditional Chinese concept of old-age care is that children support their parents in their old age,which usually means living with their parents and providing care.But with the transformation of society,the cultural concept is also changing.The concept of“independent elderly care”has gradually entered the field of vision of the elderly and may affect their living and care arrangements.Intergenerational relationships may also affect the elderly’s care arrangements.Especially for the elderly with only one child,their dependence on a single child is stronger,and the influence of intergenerational relationships may be more prominent.At the same time,it needs to be pointed out that the intergenerational relationship is very complicated,so it needs to be analyzed and discussed from multiple dimensions and directions.Th
