谁是下一代农场主? ——家庭农场主的职业代际传递意愿及其发生机制研究

文章从制度支持机制、机会结构约束机制和收益-风险约束机制三个维度分析了影响家庭农场主职业传递意愿的相关因素。研究发现,制度支持机制对农场主的职业代际传递有一定程度的影响,相对于选择家族内其他成员而言,政府开展的人才培训和政府补贴有助于农场主子女作为职业代际传递对象;机会结构约束机制对家庭农场主的职业代际传递有着显著的正向影响,相对于选择家族外成员而言,在子女参与农场劳动的情况下,农场主将优先选择子女作为职业继承人;从收益-风险约束机制来看,家庭农场的短期收益对农场主的职业传递意愿并不具有显著的统计影响;农场主在认为农场经营存在较高风险的潜在收益时更愿意选择子女接手未来的农场经营。由此提出：除了进一步加强对家庭农场的制度支持外,还应该提供相应的风险应对策略,鼓励发展亲代与子代共同经营的家庭农场;在乡村振兴战略的指导下,应该为具备农业企业家才能的能人创造宽松的环境,并致力于加强农村经济组织之间的交流与合作。     

Developmental Outcomes for Children of Young Mothers

This study tested the association between mother’s early age at first birth and various life outcomes for her children in later adolescence and early adulthood. Data were analyzed from the Rochester Youth Development Study, an ongoing panel study of adolescents enrolled in seventh or eighth grade in Rochester Public Schools in 1988 (N =729). Boys born to mothers who began childbearing before age 19 had elevated risks of drug use, gang membership, unemployment, and early parenthood. Girls born to young mothers only had elevated risks of early parenthood. Of the mediators tested, low maternal education had the largest mediating effects. The findings suggest that the risks associated with being born to a young mother are substantial but perhaps disproportionately so for boys.

家族控制程度对上市公司股价情绪效应的影响研究

上市公司家族控制程度的差异是否会引起投资者对其股票估值的不确定性的变化,这一问题在现有家族企业研究文献中鲜有涉及。基于我国A股家族上市公司样本的2009—2017年度数据,从股票超额收益率对投资者情绪敏感度的角度,分析了家族控制程度对股价情绪效应的影响。研究发现,家族控制程度的增加会加剧上市公司股价的情绪效应,股票超额收益率对投资者情绪的波动更为敏感,而且公司规模越小,账面市值比越低,则其股价情绪效应越明显。股权制衡程度更高的公司,家族控制程度对其股价情绪效应的影响会降低,说明有效的治理结构会减缓股价情绪效应。公司主动性信息披露、代际传承进展,以及公司所处行业的市场竞争程度,均显著地负向调节家族控制程度对股价情绪效应的影响,减缓了收益率对情绪的敏感程度。通过改善这些变量的监管状况,可以有效缓解投资者情绪对家族控制公司股价的冲击,促进股票市场的平稳运行。     

流动人口二代研究:概念、挑战与进路

人口流动对中国社会的复杂性、持续性影响,要求我们不仅要关注流动人口本身,还要关注流 动人口的子代群体,即本文所说的“流动人口二代”。 尽管既有研究提出了一些与“流动人口二代”近似 的概念,并在代际传递视角下围绕代际关系、身心健康、教育状况、职业发展、社会融入等方面开展了经验 研究,但这些研究都没有直接针对这一群体全貌展开系统考察,没有给出流动人口二代的群体画像、总体 特质,也没有对影响流动人口二代发展的社会事件与生命历程展开讨论。 鉴于此,本研究提出要着眼于 流动人口二代生命历程,聚焦流动人口二代生命历程中的健康风险、聚焦数字化场域下的流动人口二代 职业新发展、聚焦人口结构性变迁背景下的流动人口二代家庭化问题、聚焦新时代新形势下的流动人口 二代社会融入问题、聚焦新型城镇化情境下的流动人口二代政策保障,思考流动人口二代研究的总体性 框架与发展进路。     

Side-by-Side on Stage - Music and Drama Form a Bridge between Acting Students and People with Dementia in an Intergenerational Group Work

ABSTRACT

This article presents an intergenerational music and drama therapy groups comprised of twelve people with dementia residing in a nursing home and twelve acting students from the community.

The qualitative research aimed to explore the students’ attitudes towards elderly people, and to understand the role of creative arts therapies in facilitating intergenerational relationships. Qualitative content analysis of students’ weekly reports and questionnaires revealed the gradual process of connection between the students and people with dementia. Engaging in a creative act helped the students to discover the strengths and abilities of people with dementia and to see beyond the disease.     

Caring by Silence: How (Un)documented Brazilian Migrants Enact Silence as a Care Practice for Aging Parents

ABSTRACT

While existing work on transnational aging and care has largely focused on the substance of transnational communication and what is being said, this article examines what is being ‘silenced’ during transnational exchange. I argue that to better understand aging and intergenerational caregiving we need to pay careful attention to what is not being said during transnational contacts, suggesting that silence and ‘communication voids’ are often formulated and enacted as a care practice. Drawing on ethnographic research with Brazilian migrants in the United States whose aging parents live in Brazil, I illustrate how migrants curate their lives abroad and sieve their lived experiences as an act of care for their aging parents back home. In so doing, I reveal the significance of faith as a coping strategy in the process of silencing and concealing emotions and as a means to fight loneliness, cope with adversity, and protect family exchanges.     

Coping with Vulnerabilities in Old Age and Retirement: Cross-border Mobility,Family Relations and Social Networks of German Retirees in Alanya

ABSTRACT

Reduced income upon retirement is a vulnerability threat, which increases dependency on public provisions, familial, and/or social (community) support. Many German retirees, in addition to lifestyle motivations, move to low-cost destinations in order to maintain an autonomous and independent life while minimizing the risks of financial worsening. In this article, I discuss the vulnerability patterns of German retirees in the Mediterranean coastal town of Alanya, Turkey, and the role of social networks, with a particular focus on intergenerational family relations. I argue that, despite increased life satisfaction, relocation to a new destination abroad results in new emerging threats. German retirees in Alanya experience difficulties in terms of a lack of intergenerational family support and the double jeopardy of being framed by the legal regulations of two nation states. Based on the findings of the empirical research conducted in Alanya in 2017, I will demonstrate new threats emerged after relocation and how retirees respond to those with new coping strategies.
