城市中年人非正式养老准备问题初探——对南京市白下区的调查

A Study on Informal Ageing Care of Middle-age Men at Urban Area:Depend on Baixia District of Nanjing

学术界对"中年人"群体的养老研究相对薄弱。提出了"非正式养老准备"的概念。通过对南京市白下区的抽样调查,从个人、家庭与制度等方面探讨了城市中年人非正式养老准备的状况。结果表明:非正式养老准备普遍缺乏;非正式养老准备在各群体间呈现多样化;城市中年人非正式养老准备的途径单一。

According to the literature review, however, there are few past researches on this specific topic. This leads to the justification for the current paper. Based on the data sampled from Baixia District in Nanjing, this pioneering study tries to analyze the problem of informal care of middle - aged people for the elderly support in a micro - perspective. A concept of ＂informal care for the elderly support＂ is also proposed. Our results indicated three major characteristic features for the middle -aged people＇s informal care for the elderly：a） the informal care for the elderly is in a shortage at large;b） the informal care for the elderly is muhidimensional;c） the way to the informal care for the elderly is simplex.
