略论居家社区养老服务中的女性参与

On Women's Participation in Community-Based Home Service for the Elderly

女性参与居家社区养老服务是社会变迁和转型发展中的个人再社会化行为。这种行为的调适及其完善,需要多方面的社会支持。指导女性参与这类为老服务的理念是"助人自助、服务社会、完善自身",女性参与为老服务包括直接参与和间接参与,不同女性群体的参与途径各不相同。总体参与数量不足、参与深度不足及范围较窄、缺乏政策支持等,是目前女性参与为老服务中的主要问题。鉴于此类问题的产生具有多因性,有关方面应通过提高思想认识、强化政府责任、发挥市场作用、创新社会政策、营造社会氛围等,去有效排除女性参与障碍,并且大力拓展她们的参与空间。

Women＇s participation in community elderly service is behavior of individual resocialization during a time of social change and transformation. The adjustment and perfection of such behavior requires various social supports. The concept of guiding women to participate in such services is that,while helping others,they are also helping themselves,serving the society and improving themselves. Women＇s participation in elderly service includes direct participation and indirect participation. Different groups of women have different approaches to participate. The amount of people participating in community service is insufficient; the depth of service and the scope of service need enhancing; the lack of policy support is obvious,etc. Such are the main problems about women＇s participation. In view of the multiple causes of those problems,relevant parties should effectively eliminate obstacles of women＇s participation,and vigorously expand their participation space by improving awareness,strengthening government responsibility,giving market its role to play,innovating the social policy,and creating a positive social atmosphere.
