“管理单元”到“情感维系”:农户的功能演变考察

From“Management Unit”to“Emotional Maintenance”:An Examination of the Functional Evolution of Peasant Family

农户作为最小决策单位是农业经济理论的基本假设,是政府农村社会管理的最小单元。本文通过对农户的功能演变历程展开分析,探索新时代农户功能演变的内在逻辑和时代价值。研究发现:依据不同时期农户功能侧重点差异,农户功能演变先后经历了行政管理单元、生产决策单元和情感维系单元3个阶段,其功能演变遵循以社会行政管理需要为外在动力、以家庭就业结构变革为原生动力和以农耕文化发展传承为内在基础的内在逻辑。通过梳理农户功能演变,厘清演变的内在逻辑,有助于正确认识和定位农户功能,构建中国特色农户经济管理理论和创新发展农户治理策略。

Peasant family as the smallest decision-making unit is the basic assumption of agricultural economic theory and the smallest unit of governmental rural social management.By analyzing the functional evolution of peasant family,we explore the internal logic and contemporary values of the functional evolution of peasant family in the new era.The study finds that,according to the differences in the focus of peasant family functions in different periods,the evolution of peasant family functions has gone through three stages,including administrative unit,production decision-making unit and emotional maintenance unit,and its functional evolution follows the internal logic of social administrative needs as the external driving force,the change of family employment structure as the primary driving force,and the development and inheritance of farming culture as the internal foundation.By sorting out the functional evolution of peasant family and clarifying the internal logic of the evolution,it helps to correctly understand and position the functions of peasant family,construct the theory of economic management of peasant family with Chinese characteristics and innovate the development of peasant family governance strategies.
