女性人口学研究动态:基于2006-2017年中国硕博学位论文的文本分析

An Text Analysis of Female Demography: Based on M.A.'s and PhD's Theses from 2006 to 2017

文章通过分析比较2006-2017年以女性为研究对象的人口学专业的148篇硕博学位论文发现,女性人口学研究深受宏观社会场景的影响,是公共政策变迁和经济、社会、人口变动在学界的直接映射。2006-2017年中,相关研究数量不多且波动较大,培养单位及地域分布较为集中;理论研究缺乏,比较视角不足;对育龄女性关注较多,对其他女性人群关注不足;对生育、就业、养老与婚姻等领域关注较多,对新兴领域关注不足;泛论和量化分析较多,高质量的质性和定量研究不足。未来研究需突出理论性、比较性、人群的多样性和时代性,关注混合研究方法,注重研究质量,推动女性人口学研究取得新进展。

By examining 148 theses and dissertations focusing on female demography from 2006 to 2017,this paper finds the following characteristics in this field of research. Attention to female demography fluctuates in quantity,and the training schools and their geographical distribution are highly concentrated. More work focuses on women in childbearing ages and on such topics as marriage and fertility,labor force participation,and elderly support by vague narratives or low-quality data analysis,while women in other ages and newlyemerged topics are largely ignored. This calls for attention in future work to high-quality theoretical and empirical research with comparative perspective( with males),a broader scope in terms of sub-population of women and topics by integrating quantitative and qualitative methods.
