苏州城市随迁老年人生活状态调查

Investigation of Living Conditions of Migrant Elderly Urban Residents in Suzhou

本文通过对苏州143名随迁老年人的问卷调查以及7名老年人的深度访谈,发现大多数老人随子女进城主要是为了照料晚辈,在经济上主要依赖子女,居住空间相对紧张,语言交流障碍较大,交际范围变窄,思乡情绪比较普遍,代际矛盾当中多数选择隐忍,自我效能感有所下降。提出家庭成员和社区应该更多关注老人的精神生活,理解并支持他们融入社区;政府要进一步健全落实社会支持系统,增加老年人的幸福感。

Through questionnaires and in-depth interviews with 143 migrant elderly people in Suzhou,it is found that most of the elderly who come to town mainly for the care of the younger generation,depend on their children economically,live in a relatively tight living space,have a greater barrier to language communication,a narrower range of communication,and are more homesick.Most of the intergenerational conflicts have chosen to bear patiently and their sense of self-efficacy has declined.Family members and communities should pay more attention to the spiritual life of the elderly,understand and support their integration into the community;the government should further improve the implementation of social support systems,and increase the well-being of the elderly.
