我国农村留守儿童状况研究

The Left-behind Children in Rural China

目前,农村留守儿童问题已经引起了政府和社会的高度关注,但与农村留守儿童有关的各项基础信息却十分缺乏。本文利用2005年全国1%人口抽样调查数据估算了全国农村留守儿童的规模、结构、地域分布等基本情况,并围绕目前备受关注的留守儿童热点问题,重点阐述了农村留守儿童的受教育状况、家庭照料状况等。所得研究结论,填补了有关农村留守儿童信息的空白。农村留守儿童接受义务教育状况良好、照顾留守儿童的祖父母并非年老体弱等结论将改变人们对留守儿童的习惯认识。

Using Chings 2005 one percent population survey data, this paper provides an estimate of the number, structure and regional distribution of the left-behind children in rural China, with a focus on their education and family care. Information and conclusions from this paper have filled in the gaps in this area of study.
