我国儿童保护制度的发展与取向:基于国际比较的视角

The Development and Orientation of Child Protection System in China: Learning from Others

国家、家庭、儿童的角色设定是儿童保护制度的核心议题。发达国家的比较研究将这一核心议题细分为七个维度,基于七个维度的比较,提出儿童保护制度的三个取向(orientations)。借鉴国外学者的七维度分析框架,笔者对我国儿童保护制度建设中国家、家庭、儿童的角色进行检视,并对我国儿童保护制度的取向进行分析。研究发现我国儿童保护制度为上述不同取向的混合体,并呈现出一定的自身特征。未来应继续完善我国的儿童保护制度建设和相关研究。

The core issue of children protection system is the considerations for the roles of state, family and children. Research in Western countries divide this key issue into seven dimensions and then three orientations of children protection system were put forward. This article applies the seven-dimension analytical framework to examine the roles of state, family and children in the ongoing construction of child protection system in China. It is suggested that China＇s child protection issues demonstrate its own features which are distinct from other countries and exhibit mixed characteristics of different orientations. Recommendations are discussed in the hope of shaping and strengthening the development of child protection system that fits the needs of children and families in China.
