结构化视阈下的闽南农村未婚先育现象研究——以闽南农村为例

Analysis on Rural Youths' Procreation Before Marriage in South Fujian in Structuration Theory

通过实地调查发现,当前闽南农村未婚先育现象呈现上升趋势,这不仅是对传统婚育制度的冲击,也是对现行婚姻生育政策的挑战。引入结构化理论,详细分析未婚先育现象产生的社会制度、村落文化等宏观背景和青年个体的行为选择。这种行为表面上超脱传统实质上是传统生育观的回归。

By field survey, the author finds out more and more rural youths give birth to babies before marriage in South Fujian at present. Obviously, this phenomenon attacks the traditional marriage and childbirth system, and challenges cur- rent marriage and childbirth policy as well. The paper applies Giddens＂ structuration theory to discuss its macro-back- ground and individual choice and point out the unconventional behavior returns to traditional child bearing concept in es- sence.
