城市随迁家庭的实践逻辑及情理困境

Practical Logic and Dilemma of Migrating Families in the City

随迁家庭是社会转型期人口流动背景下形成的一种新的家庭模式,是介于主干家庭与核心家庭之间的一种中间状态,可分为扶幼、养病、养老、催婚、助业等五种类型。个案调查发现,在家庭结构上,随迁家庭成员流动且分离,家庭关系多元化,家庭边界具有多重性;在经济策略上,随迁家庭经济收入来源多样,亲代和子代经济分中有合,财产权集中在子代;在居住安排上,倾向于亲代和子代同住。随迁家庭的代际关系处于一种情理困境中,空间距离的近和心理距离的远、亲密关系的需求和家庭现实的需要、儿子的孝和媳妇的理、老人的权威和年轻人的自主,在随迁家庭中往往不能两全。随迁家庭在实践中遵循工具理性和价值理性两个逻辑,两者的博弈和动态平衡构成了随迁家庭的实践基础。

Migrating families are a new family model formed in the context of population movement during the social transition period. They fall in between stem families and nuclear families, and can be divided into five types of child care, illness recovery, old-age provision, marriage urgers, and career support. The case study of Guiyang shows that in terms of family structure, the family members of migrating families are mobile and separated, the family relations are diversified, and the family boundaries are muhi-faceted. In terms of financial strategy, the income of migrating families comes from a variety of sources, financially, parents and the offspring are mostly independent from each other, but not otherwise, and the property rights are concentrated in the hands of the offspring. In residential arrangement, parents and the offspring tend to live together. The intergenerational relations of immigrating families are caught in a dilemma： They are physically close but emotionally detached. The conflict between the need for intimate relationship and the family＇s actual demand, the filial obligations of the son and the rationality of the daughter-in-law, the authority of the elderly and the autonomy of the young, cannot often be resolved in such families. Immigrating families conform to the logics of instrumental rationality and value rationality in practice. The game and dynamic balance of the two constitute the practical basis of immigrating families.
