摘要
夹心世代/三明治世代是指在工作的同时需在家庭中承担父母与子女两代或多代无薪双重照顾责任的同期群。中国第一代独生子女已经或即将进入“夹心”位置,成为夹心世代中最为特殊的同期群,面临多重竞争需要与福祉损失风险,但中国学界对此尚未有系统回顾与评述。本文以夹心世代为对象,围绕夹心地位与福祉关系的现代迷思,绘制了夹心世代概念的流变轨迹,区分了照顾者、雇员、志愿者与公民四重角色,并引入推动政策发展的结构-功能主义与行动者两条解释路径。照顾者更需“照顾”,未来需要推动以照顾者为中心的工作-家庭平衡政策建设,进而满足夹心世代的美好生活需要。
Sandwich generation is a generation of people who are caring for their aging parents and supporting their own children while working. The first generation of Only-Child has entered or is about to enter the “sandwich” position, facing multiple competing needs and the risk of loss of well-being, but it has not yet made a systematic review in China. This paper, centering on the modern myth about the relationship between sandwich status and individual well-being, has mapped the changing trajectory of the concept, distinguished the four roles of carer/caregiver, employee, volunteer, and citizen, and introduced the two explanatory paths to promote policy development: structural-functionalism and agency/actor. The study suggests that carers need to be taken care of more and more, and it is necessary to promote the construction of a family-work balance policy with carers as the core in the future, so as to meet the needs of the sandwich generation for a better life.
