催婚:现代社会家庭再生产的困境及其代际冲突——基于一位待婚女青年的生命历程研究

The Dilemma of Family Reproduction and Intergenerational Conflict in Modern Society:The Life Course of a Young Woman Awaiting Marriage

催婚是当前社会的一个热门话题,催婚问题作为中国社会特有的文化现象,已经成为困扰青年群体发展、威胁青年人身心健康、家庭幸福甚至是社会和谐的重要社会问题。通过运用生命历程理论对一位待婚女青年的个案研究发现,催婚现象的产生有着深刻的社会原因,是个体选择与社会文化共同作用的后果,是社会变迁背景下因人生时间表的错位而导致的家庭再生产困境以及代际之间不同婚姻文化与观念的冲突展现。关心青年人日常生活和身心健康,塑造宽厚包容的社会文化,促进代际之间对于不同婚姻观念的包容和理解,引导青年承担家庭责任对于这一问题的解决具有积极意义。

Through the application of life course theory to a young woman waiting for marriage,we find that the phenomenon of urging marriage has profound social reasons,is the result of individual choice and social culture. It is a family reproduction dilemma caused by the dislocation of life schedule in the context of social changes,and a conflict between different marriage cultures and concepts between generations. Showing concern for the daily life and physical and mental health of young people,shaping a tolerant social culture,promoting intergenerational tolerance and understanding of different marriage concepts,and guiding young people to assume family responsibilities have positive significance for solving this problem.
