Abstract/Summary:
According to the United Nations standards,a country or region is considered to have entered an aging society when the population over 60 years old accounts for 10% of the total population,or the population over 65 years old accounts for 7% of the total population.According to this,China has entered the aging society.In the past,family support in rural areas was mainly provided by children in terms of economy,care and emotion.Nowadays,due to the influence of urbanization and family planning and other external factors,the internal structure of the family has changed,the family size has become smaller,and children do not live with the elderly,which directly leads to less care given by children to the elderly,and the number of communication with the elderly is also declining.The World Health Organization has reported that at this stage,the number of elderly people suffering from mental disorders is more than 30% Economically,although the new rural endowment insurance is basically covered,the level of insurance issued is very low.In this context,the traditional family pension is impacted,and intergenerational support may change.The data of this paper is based on the field survey in rural areas of Zhuanghe City.The intergenerational support of family pension is divided into economic intergenerational support,caring intergenerational support and emotional intergenerational support.Firstly,it describes the current situation of intergenerational support for family pension,including the characteristics of the elderly,the characteristics of children and the intergenerational support of children for the elderly at this stage.Secondly,it describes the elderly in different times of the same family,compares and analyzes the changes of intergenerational support provided by children in the two stages,and calculates the changes of intergenerational support in all aspects;Then,we use the oligoit model to analyze the influencing factors of intergenerational support changes in all aspects of family support.The dependent variables are economic intergenerational support changes,care intergenerational support changes and emotional intergenerational support changes.The independent variables are considered from the four dimensions of individual characteristics,economic security,mental status and children’s characteristics.Through the research and analysis,the following conclusions are drawn: at this stage,the elderly’s self-economic security is poor;the economic and emotional intergenerational support provided by children for the elderly is better,but the care intergenerational support is poor;through the comparative analysis of the past and the reality,we calculate that the strengthening of economic intergenerational support of rural families in Zhuanghe City is 52.65%,and the scores of caring intergenerational support and emotional intergenerational support are calculated Gender,marital status,living conditions,self-care ability,income of the elderly,number of living children and economic level of children have significant influence on the change of economic intergenerational support.Age,education level,living conditions,self-care ability,insurance situation,pension concept and the number of living children have significant influence on the change of intergenerational care support.Age,gender,living conditions,smartphone use,and the number of surviving children have significant effects on the change of emotional intergenerational support.In view of the above conclusions,suggestions are put forward from two aspects of family and government.The children in the family should fulfill the duty of care and provide more care and support;the children should care about the inner changes of the old people and give them more emotional support;the old people themselves should have an independent attitude towards supporting the aged.At the government level,we should vigorously develop the rural economy and improve people’s income level;we should increase financial support to improve the level of pension insurance for the elderly;the village committee should strengthen the construction of cultural infrastructure,organize more cultural activities to enrich the life of the elderly;we should strengthen the dissemination of filial piety culture and carry forward the filial piety culture;we should also encourage the development of mutual support for the aged to make up for the intergenerational support in the process of family pension It is not enough.
