A Livelihood Strategies Analysis of Different Children Rural Households within the Sustainable Livelihood Analysis Framework

利用可持续生计分析框架,以湖北4个县市为例,分析了不同子女数量农户的家庭生计策略。研究发现由于子女数量不同,相比子女较多的农户家庭,子女较少的农户家庭生计策略呈现出农业集约化程度较高、生计多样化程度较高以及子女外出务工人数较少的特点,这是子女较少农户为兼顾降低家庭脆弱性和提高家庭收入所做出的适合自身的生计策略。本文还发现,随着父母年龄的变老,子女较少的农户存在潜在的生计隐患。据此,本文提出了提高农户生计资本、以及政府帮助降低农户家庭脆弱性的政策建议。
