中国儿童照顾政策建议的碎片化与整合性公共托育体系建构

The Fragmentation of Advice on Childcare Policy in China and the Consideration of an Integrated Public Childcare System

文章梳理分析了2001年以来的25篇儿童照顾政策研究文献,发现关于儿童照顾的政策建议呈现碎片化特征,具体表现为,相关政策建议背后的儿童照顾理念模糊,对儿童照顾政策核心内涵的讨论比较单一,相关政策建议的出发点不同以及政策目标常常顾此失彼、缺乏整合。西方福利国家儿童照顾政策改革经验表明,对与儿童照顾相关的性别、阶层及早期教育等三个问题的认识,影响着照顾需求的评估和照顾政策的理念与方向。我国需要在明确的政策理念和清晰的政策逻辑下,构建照顾与教育相融合的高质量、整合性的公共托育体系,以促进社会平等以及人口与经济社会持续发展。

25 research articles on Childcare Policy in China since 2001 were selected and analyzed.Results show that the suggestions on Childcare Policy were fragmented.The concept of childcare based on which the relevant policy suggestions was vague,the discussion on the crucial meaning of Childcare Policy was relatively simple,the starting points of the relevant policy suggestions were different,and the policy objectives were seperated from each other and lack of integration.The experience of Childcare Policy reform in western welfare countries show that the understanding of three issues,such as gender,class and early education related to the childcare,would affect the assessment of care needs,as well as the concept and direction of the policies.In order to promote social equality and the sustainable development of population and economy,China needs to build a high-quality and integrated public childcare system with both care and education under the more clear policy concepts and logic.
