社会变迁过程中的老年人家庭支持研究

在社会变迁过程中 ,中国老年人的家庭支持模式经受了各种变迁的压力。对老年人家庭支持获得的多因素分析发现 ,西方学者关于家庭支持的理论和假设 (如权力与协商论、互助论和合作群体论 )对于中国老年人的状况并没有足够的解释力。城镇老年人家庭支持的获得与老年人资源的拥有、交换的提供和对子女投资的数量之间不是一种一一对应的简单的因果关系 ,而是受到包括诸如传统文化在内的多种因素的影响

Family Support for the Elderly in the Process of Social Change

Family support for Chinese elderly people experiences great pressures in the process of rapid social and economic changes. Empirical study shows that hypotheses presented by western scholars(e.g., power and bargaining model; mutual aid model and corporate group model) can not satisfactorily explain the situation of the Chinese elderly people. The model of family support for the Chinese elderly is influenced by many variables, especially traditional culture. There is no simple causality between the acquirement of the family support and the elderly people's social resources.
