日本“双重照护”现状及其对中国的启示

The Current Situation of "Double Care" in Japan and Its Implications for China

"双重照护"即"上有老,下有小"的中间一代既照顾老人又养育孩子之意。日本是世界上公认的最严重少子老龄化国家之一,政府与社会团体为此采取了诸多行之有效的措施与方法。中国目前也正步入老龄化社会,再加上2016年初全面放开二孩等中国特色政策的实施,使得新时代背景下的"双重照护"问题增加了新的课题与困难。

＂Double care＂means that the＂sandwich generation＂takes care of both the elderly and the children.Japan is widely recognized as one of the countries with the serious problems of fewer children and aging population in the world,and the government and social groups have taken a number of effective measures to solve the problems.At present,China is also entering the aging society.Besides,the implementation of policies with Chinese characteristics including the universal two-child policy in early 2016 brings new problems and difficulties to the double care issue in the new era.
