Ways of thinking about the long-term care of the baby-boom cohorts

In examining various ways of thinking about the development of long-term care policy for the baby-boom cohorts, this article discusses the importance of basing long-term care policy discussions on a recognition of social and economic trends, as well as on the informal exchanges of care that occur over life and the diversity within the baby-boom cohorts. The implications of two ways of thinking about challenges posed by the aging of baby boomers--the generational equity/crisis perspective and the generational investment/gradual adjustment perspective are also discussed. It is suggested that the generational equity perspective is consonant with proposals to expand private savings for long-term care contingencies and private long-term insurance and, secondarily, with proposals to expand means-testing for benefits. The second perspective is more consistent with proposals to create new universal services through a traditional social insurance approach, or through a block grant such as the one discussed in the context of the Clinton health care reform plan.     

不同类型农户土壤保护认知及行为决策研究——以江汉平原368户农户调查为例

利用江汉平原农户调查数据,运用二元选择模型分析不同类型农户土壤保护认知与行为决策。结果表明:不同类型农户的土壤保护认知水平存在差异,且农户的土壤保护认知与其行为决策之间的差距较为明显;户主教育程度、农户土壤保护认知与耕地块数是影响所有类型农户土壤保护行为决策的显著因素;是否租入土地与接受农业技术培训对纯农户土壤保护行为有显著影响;人均耕地面积对I兼农户有显著影响;户主是否兼业与家庭非农就业比例对II兼农户有显著影响;户主年龄对III兼农户有显著影响。由此提出建议:提高各类农户土壤保护认知,缩小农户行为决策与认知差距的关键在于加强土壤保护知识与技术的宣传,培养农户土壤保护意识与技能,并通过土地整理等措施为农户采取土壤保护行为提供便利条件,在保障各方收入来源的基础上,引导土地从III兼农户向专业经营户流转。     

The greying of the baby boom in the United States: framing the policy debate

Issues surrounding the retirement of the large post-World War II "baby boom" generation in the United States are often framed either in terms of impending intergenerational crisis or as an event to which the United States can gradually adjust. This paper examines these two perspectives as they compete to define US social security policy. It suggests that the intergenerational crisis perspective functions primarily as an ideological argument and strategy for de-structuring social welfare policy. In contrast, the gradual adjustment perspective provides a stronger basis for planning social security and other policy responses to the ageing of the baby boom. However, it is not informed by a clear social vision and has not, as yet, responded sufficiently to the potential divisiveness which may accompany changing demography. Also, to date, relatively little attention has been paid to the diverse social and economic circumstances of baby boomers and the implications of this diversity for retirement planning.     

母系家园(英文)

这是一个28户人家的小村庄,坐落在川滇两省交界处崇山峻岭中,至今尚没有道路能够通达。它是当年茶马古道的必经之路,小村子也因此得名——里加咀(摩梭语译音),摩梭语的意思是"中间休息的地方",或"灵魂聚集的地方"。这个鲜为人知的小村庄,堪称早期母系氏族的缩影。

基于低碳旅游理念的创意农庄项目开发初探

低碳旅游是一种降低"碳"的旅游,也就是在旅游活动中,旅游者尽量降低二氧化碳排放量。休闲农庄资源规划与开发应以生态优先,可持续发展为第一指导原则。在具体的项目开发建设中要注重妥善解决开发所带来的环境破坏和污染,采取必要的生态措施和技术改善林网、水系、田园的农业生态环境,培育绿色产业,繁荣传统文化,构成绿色产业体系。把"绿色生态文明""可持续发展"融入各项目区的规划建设之中,高度重视资源保护和文化传承,充分发挥农业、农村、农民的生态和文化优势,吸引游客观光休闲和精心体验,避免盲目开发、无序开发和破坏性开发,走资源节约型,环境友好型的可持续发展道路。     

从元明清时期彝族法律纠纷解决机制的变迁看国家与其互动关系

元明清时期中央王朝的正式的法律纠纷解决机制、彝族地区固有正式法律纠纷解决机制的变迁,是一个不对称的互动过程。在中央王朝对彝族地区基层社会的统治不断深入的同时,彝族地区基层社会特殊的纠纷解决机制也增加了中央统治者对彝族地区的治理经验,丰富了中华法系,特别是中国少数民族法律的内容。
