The Rationalization Of Daughter Support And Rural Intergenerational Relationship

The social development trend of aging population has gradually become a basic national condition in the process of modernization,which brings new challenge to the family retirement.As a new phenomenon in the traditional family pension order,daughter pension brings vitality and power to family pension,which brings an opportunity to change the current family pension dilemma.In the process of social transformation,families realize better allocation of pension resources under the limited pension resources,adapt the structure and relationship to the modernization process,and also in the process of modernization with a huge population size.The concrete requirements of realizing the harmony between material and spiritual civilization.This study analyzes the cases of daughters supporting the elderly in Shuangquan families in the villages of Jianghan Plain,Outlines the features of local daughters participating in supporting the elderly,extracts the characteristics of supporting the elderly,examines the motivation and logic of daughters participating in supporting the elderly through interaction and relationship construction in family politics,and summarizes the characteristics of intergenerational relations.This research is carried out from within the family,under the framework of family politics "process-rule-result",with the intergenerational relationship behind the daughter’s retirement as the support point,explains and answers the question of the change of contemporary rural intergenerational relationship,and explores the social generation mechanism of the change of intergenerational relationship.In terms of the result of pension,it is very common for daughters to realize pension by means of economic payment,physical care and spiritual comfort.On the whole,whether the son’s endowment resources can meet the needs of the elderly is an important condition affecting the effect of the daughter’s endowment,because the independent and unbalanced intergenerational relationship makes the son’s endowment lack of motivation,so the daughter’s participation in the endowment,and also makes the father’s endowment expectation decline,so that the daughter’s endowment is often the icing on the cake or presents the logic of supplement and cover.In the family process,the daughter interacts with her husband’s family and her mother’s family.Under the background of fewer children and migrant workers,the independence of intergenerational relations,the prominence of the husband and wife axis of family relations and the enhancement of women’s own right to speak expand the space for daughters to express their emotions.Modern life generates the fair logic of daughters’ rights and obligations based on personal identity,and makes daughters attach importance to the expression of emotions,which is the subjective motivation for daughters to support the elderly.In her family,the withdrawal of tradition over values and instrumental rationality also make the father actively construct the intergenerational relationship of instrumental rationality and bring the daughter into the pension from the institutional level.On the rule level of endowment,daughter endowment reflects the construction of a new rational intergenerational relationship.Rational intergenerational relationship contains the balance of three important characteristics of strong individual identity logic,economic rationality and emotional elements,which become the driving force to dominate the daughter’s pension.The rational intergenerational relationship in the modernization process enables the family to integrate into the modernization and realize the overall better allocation of resources,which is a unique choice for families to resist the pressure of modernization.On the one hand,it comes from the changes of family structure and population caused by market economy and related institutions,on the other hand,it comes from the promotion of individual consciousness and economic rationality by market environment.In the impact of modernization,the familism and transcendental value of "one standard" in the traditional intergenerational relations gradually decline,replaced by the more reality-oriented "individual standard" cultural and psychological structure basis.
