从“依赖养老”到“独立养老”——独生子女家庭养老观念的重要转变

From " dependent" to " independent":the important change on idea of the elderly support of only child family

当代独生子女家庭养老面临着严重的现实困境,主要原因是现实社会已失去了传统中国家庭养老模式的客观基础。在这种情况下,独生子女父母老年保障中一项重要的任务就是转变老年人对子女赡养的依靠与期望的传统观念, 全社会在提倡尊老、爱老、养老的同时,还要开展对独生子女父母的教育和宣传,让他们从观念上变“依赖养老”为“独立养老”,变“依靠子女”为“依靠自己”。

The realistic difficulty of the elderly support of only child family is that it has no objective base, which traditional Chinese family has in the elderly support. The paper point out that an important task in the elderly insurance of the only child family is to change the traditional idea which rely the elderly support on children. Besides advocating to respect the elderly, care for the elderly and provide for the elderly, we should also educate the parents of only child to change the idea of ＂the dependent elderly support＂ into ＂the independent elderly support＂, and change the idea of ＂rely on child＂ into ＂rely on oneself＂.
