Hierarchy and Structure of Policy Needs for Childcare in the Era of Low-Fertility:An Empirical Analysis Based on Survey Data from Xi’an City

基于西安市育龄人群调查,分析了儿童照顾政策需求层次与结构。研究发现,托育服务与二孩税收减免分别处于育龄人群政策需求的第一与第二层次,对于不同子女数的育龄人群而言,养育指导、延长产假、延长陪产假与二孩现金补贴所处政策需求层次存在差异;半数以上育龄人群对多项政策有较高需求,其需求结构可分为政策高需求组、服务政策需求组、经济-时间政策需求组、经济-服务政策需求组、时间-服务政策需求组及政策低需求组6种类型;其需求结构受到个体特征(如受教育年限、再生育意愿、养育责任认知)与家庭特征(如家庭年收入、夫妻就业状态、子女数量、父母与祖辈照顾程度)显著影响。建议以需求为导向,明确儿童照顾领域政策供给重点。
