代际关系的下位运行及其对农村家庭养老影响

利用问卷调查资料,定量描述了现阶段江汉平原农村家庭养老的基本情况,并从代际关系运行状态的角度探讨了农村家庭养老面临困境的原因。研究发现,当前农村家庭养老遭遇问题并不仅仅是养老资源匮乏的结果,更是农村代际关系朝向下位运行的结果,即代际关系朝向上位的、双向平衡运行逻辑已被朝向下位的、单向失衡运行逻辑所取代。作为一种超经济伦理性的行为特征在代际关系的运行中逐渐消失,子代在养老行为中越来越理性化,这是当前江汉平原农村社会家庭养老面临困境的症结所在。

The Downward Operation of the Inter-generational Relations and Its Influence of the Family Support for the Elderly

The article quantitatively described the situation of the family support for the elderly in the rural area of Jianghan plain and reasons for its predicament from the view of the running state of the generational relation according to data acquired in questionnaire. There are two main reasons,namely the lack of resources and additionally the downward operation of the inter-generational relations. In other words,the upward and two-way balance logic of the inter-generational relations,a behavior surpassing the economic ethics,has been replaced by the downward and unbalanced logic and faded away in the operation of the inter-generational relations. The younger generation becomes increasingly more rational in the issue of supporting the elder,which is the crux of the problem of the family support for the elderly in the rural area of Jianghan plain.
