人口学视野下的婚姻家庭研究:内容与方法

Study on Marriage and Family in Demography:Contents and Methodology

人口学视野下的婚姻家庭研究在其内容与方法上呈现出鲜明的特色。本文采用文献计量分析方法,将新中国成立以来人口学婚姻家庭研究的发展划分为两个主要阶段,并分别对婚姻和家庭研究及其主要方法进行了归纳分析,发现人口学研究着重于将婚姻家庭放在整个人口生命周期中,与各主要人口事件和人口过程相联系,尤其关注婚姻家庭与生育之间的关系,指出婚姻家庭作为重要的人口事件和人口社会经济特征,其研究的进一步拓展与深化需要结合多学科视角。

The study on marriage and family in demography since 1949 can be divided into two developmental stages, the foci and methods differ with time. By reviewing relevant literatures, this paper points out that population studies in this field pay more attention to the relationship between marriage, family and other population events especially fertility. Considering the im- portance and complicatedness of the study on marriage and family, further studies need to integrate more scientific perspectives.
