Social Support Of Accompanying Children Of Peasant-workers In Compulsory Education With The Problems And Strategies

Along with the accelerated process of industrialization in China, the rural labor force increasingly crowds into cities, especially the rural family, thus the number of accompanying children of peasant-workers is rising sharply. All walks of life has always paid attention to large group of migrant workers children who are in compulsory education in city. Although the policy of "two priorities" from central government helps to solve their education problems, in recent years, this policy is facing difficulties, especially the problem of poor execution. For compulsory education of peasant-workers’ accompanying children, people from all walks of life also provide some corresponding social supports, but at this stage social support to accompanying children of peasantworkers who are in compulsory education especially in the southwest, is still inadequate. There is a need strengthening social support, but how to strengthen, what the specific problems are, the causes of existing problems and the strategies also need to conduct a comprehensive study.Therefore, Chengdu as a typical southwest city where has most of mobile population was treated as the sample source region. This study randomly selected a area from Chengdu where the accompanying children of peasant-workers in compulsory education concentrate, and take this area as an example. Under the guidance of social support theory and social resources theory, analyze the existing problems of the social support of the migrant workers children in compulsory education, explore the fundamental and direct reasons for these problems, and on the basis of this analysis put forward the corresponding solving strategies, in order to provide reference to solving present migrant workers children’s compulsory education problem and to related social support research.In this paper, after the introduction which makes a whole brief, mainly consists of the following parts:The first part mainly carries on theoretical analysis about the compulsory education period of migrant workers children’s social support structure, social support classification, necessity of building social support system, standard of evaluating the system and the composition of the relationship between the elements. We prepare for subsequent research from summarizing predecessors’ research achievements of academic and deeply analyzing related theoretical knowledge.The second part analyzes the survey data and discusses the problems existing in the social support of compulsory education period of peasant workers’ accompanying children. Under the guidance of the theory of social support and social resources, through questionnaires, interviews and field observation, emotional support situation, the actual support, social interaction support problems are analyzed. It founds out that in X area peasant workers’ accompanying children in general lack of social support. Specific performance as follows, in terms of emotional support, migrant parents lack of insufficient support to their children, also lacking in emotional support conditions; In terms of practical support, subjects narrowing to offer support, regulation and procedure support weakening on enrollment and application of the migrant children, instrumental support weakening and insufficient material support; In terms of social support, low heterogeneity and its social groups with low social support from urban residents. Children of migrant workers has not been formed such a long-term mechanism in addition trailing system of social support.The third part analyzes the reasons of social support problems faced by accompanying children of peasant-workers in compulsory education. Mainly from the aspects of root cause and direct cause. We think the fundamental reasons are the influence of urban-rural division and regional segmentation, the middle class of dumbbell social structure is too weak, regional concept’s popularity and the low heterogeneity of migrant workers families! social network causes the difficulties of gaining social resource; the problems caused by fundamental reasons cannot be solved at once only through long-term measures to gradually improve. Direct reasons are the central policy issued by the lack of policy implementation, the migrant parents ’education idea lag, the migrant school teachers’ great mobility, and lack of professional community workers and so on.The fourth part mainly discusses the optimization strategies of the social support on accompanying children of peasant-workers in compulsory education. Under the guidance of social support theory and social resources theory, take the bottom line principle to guarantee peasant workers’ children’s compulsory education right, adhere to the fair compulsory education as the basic principle, treat the standard of evaluating social support system as a main reference and build a social support system as a future aim to put forward the optimization tactics of the social support to the accompanying children of peasant-workers. The strategies include three main aspects which are emotional support, actual support and social interaction support. In order to express the strategies more clearly, actual support is divided into four which are regulation support, procedure support, material support and instrumental support.This study based on the social support research of typical southwest city of Chengdu, through summarizing the problems and analyzing the causes, found out that researches on theory and practice should be enforced. Especially on practice, offering the practical strategies on emotional support, actual support and social interaction support and transferring the theory achievements into practical application to help accompanying children of peasant-workers to get rid of the trouble in their compulsory education.
