Social Acceptance of Daughters Taking Care of Parents in the Countryside and Influencing Factors:Based on a Quantitative Study in Xunwu County, Jiangxi Province

在中国农村社会发生结构性变动的大背景下,家庭结构也随之变化。传统父系基础的家庭受到冲击,女性在核心家庭中的权力增加,女儿对于娘家的工具性意义不断提升。文章利用对江西省寻乌县的调查数据,分析农村女儿养老的社会认同及其影响因素。研究结果表明:已有部分农村居民认为女儿有养老责任并逐步接受女儿养老,个体特征中的年龄、婚姻状况、职业和文化程度及家庭资源中的儿女结构、女儿数对农村女儿养老的社会认同有显著影响。

The rural household structure is changing since the structural changes have taken place in China＇s countryside. The traditional family based on a patriarchal structure has come under attack as women have increased their status in nuclear family. Daughter＇s value as a means to her maternal family＇s wellbeing has also increased. This paper analyzes factors that influence the social acceptance of daughters providing for the aged in rural areas based on a survey conducted in Xun Wu County in Jiangxi Province. The results show that part of the rural residents think that daughters have the duty to provide for the aged and that they would accept support from daughters. Age, marital status, occupation and levels of education, family resources including the structure of children in the family and the number of daughters all have a significant influence on the social acceptance of daughters providing for the aged in rural areas.
