高校硕博群体对青年年龄上限的认知研究--以湖北省武汉市为例

Research on Postgraduates' Cognitions of the Limit of Youth Age in Universities——Taking Wuhan of Hubei Province as an Example

在当代社会中,青年年龄的界定一直是模糊区域,这使青年具体人群难以精准定位,青年政策与相关法规的界定无法落实。同时随着高等教育不断覆盖,高学历在读学生的庞大数量对认知青年群体产生很大影响。本研究以湖北省武汉市为例,从受教育年限、结婚和成立家庭的情况、经济独立程度三方面出发探究高校硕博群体对青年年龄上限的认知状况,得出受教育年限、初婚年龄均与认知青年年龄上限成正相关关系而经济独立程度并不是主要影响因素的结论,并可进一步认为目前的青年年龄上限在一定程度上可以延伸到34周岁左右。

In modern society,the definition of youth age is always a fuzzy area,which makes it difficult to position accurately the group of youth and to implement the definition of youth policy and relevant laws. At the same time,with the continuous coverage of higher education,the large number of students with high educational background has a great impact on the cognition of young people. Taking the city of Wuhan as an example,this study explores postgraduates’ cognition of age limit of the young people in colleges and universities based on the years of education,marriage and the establishment of family and the degree of economic independence. Result shows that the age of education and the age of first marriage are positively correlated with the limit of cognition,however,the degree of economic independence is not the main factor. Therefore,it can be further considered that the current age limit for young people can be extended to about 34 years old to a certain extent.
