Foster children: a longitudinal study of placements and family relationships

Foster children's family relationships have been one of the themes in a longitudinal study, starting with a disadvantaged group of children, 0–4 years of age when taken into care and placed in a children's home in Sweden. Seven rounds of data collection were carried out; the last two when the children were young adults. This article is about those 20 children in the study group who, in addition to temporary residential care at an early age, have experiences from foster care, either for the remainder of their childhood or before or after a period of reunion. Placement history is put in relation to family relationships, i.e. relationships to birth family and foster family. The categorisation in secure and insecure relationships or attachment patterns is based on interviews with the young adults, with a retrospect of previous relationships. The connection between placement history and family relationship is not obvious in this high-risk group. However, inclusive attitudes from the foster family towards the child's family promote continuity and a sense of security, also in periods of reunion or re-placement, and facilitate foster children's hard work in coming to terms with their family background and finding their own way.

A framework for comparing social protection in developing and developed countries: The example of child benefits

Abstract   The article outlines a conceptual and theoretical framework for improved comparative analysis of publicly provided social protection in developing countries, drawing on the research tradition of the study of longstanding welfare democracies. An important element of the proposed institutional approach is the establishment of comparable qualitative and quantitative indicators for social protection. The empirical example of child benefits indicates that differences between developed and developing countries should not be exaggerated, and that the prevalence of child benefits in sub-Saharan African and Latin American countries today resembles the inter-war period (1919-1938) situation in developed regions.

佛山外来工子女教育问题研究

基于2010年实地调研数据,发现目前佛山外来工子女教育存在诸多问题:从外部环境来说,主要有外来工子女义务教育免费门槛过高、政府宣传力度不够,公办学校财政和学位压力较大,民办学校扶持力度不够、教学质量没保障等;从外来工自身方面来说,主要有文化素质不高、家庭教育支持欠缺,收入水平低等。今后佛山要进一步放宽外来工子女入学准入制度、提供公平的竞争环境、鼓励社会力量办学、完善外来工子女教育救助制度和重视外来工子女心理健康的对策。     

论农村留守儿童的监护问题

改革开放以来,随着我国经济的快速发展和城市化进程的加快,大量的农村劳动力涌入城市。受到城乡二元体制等因素的制约,许多进城务工人员都将子女留在了农村。这些留守儿童由于父母监护的缺失,普遍出现了性格缺陷、心理问题甚至违法犯罪行为。针对这些问题,要提出应对策略,以期完善农村留守儿童监护的法律制度并建立起保障农村留守儿童健康成长的长效机制。     

中国农村留守儿童社会保障权研究

中国农村留守儿童社会保障权是农村留守儿童享有的请求政府依法维护其生存和发展的基本权利,兼有社会权与自由权属性,并以公平与需求作为其价值基础.中国农村留守儿童社会保障权的内容非常丰富,主要包括基本生活保障权、照管保障权、教育保障权、健康保障权;这些权利的实现皆建立于中央政府、农村外出务工人员流出地政府与流入地政府的积极作为与具体援助之上.     

二律背反:新生代农民工生育意愿的变化趋势及其政策启示

新生代农民工作为农民工的主体,绝大部分人处于婚恋和生育的黄金阶段,其生育意愿对中国城镇化发展和人口可持续发展具有重要的现实意义。通过纵向和横向对比分析,发现新生代农民工生育意愿具有明显的现代性特征。相对于老生代农民工而言,新生代农民工生育意愿显著降低,并趋近新生代城—城流动人口;其生育意愿的性别、婚姻状况、受教育程度差异等内部分化显著弱化。而且,基于城市适应理论视角,从经济适应、社会适应、心理适应、制度适应4个维度对其影响因素进行实证分析,发现城市适应对新生代农民工生育意愿的影响呈现代际显著增强的态势。经济适应、社会适应、心理适应程度的提高会显著地降低新生代农民工期望生育子女数。这使得中国城镇化发展与新生代农民工生育意愿降低的现象并存,存在城镇化发展与人口可持续发展之间二律背反的矛盾困境。而制度适应却能显著提升新生代农民工生育意愿,这为促进城镇化发展和人口可持续发展相协调提供了可能和路径。
