青年“低欲望躺平”:全球图景、影响因素与引导策略

“Low Desire to Lay Flat” of Youths: Global Picture, Inflfluencing Factors and Guidance Strategies

在全球图景下,以“躺平”为代表的青年低欲望现象已成为世界各国共同面临的难题。文章聚焦美国、英国、日本、韩国、巴西、印度、南非等国的青年低欲望现象,展现了世界各国的差异化表现,并剖析其产生原因。研究指出,全球青年低欲望现象的形成受到外源性因素和内源性因素的影响。其中,外源性因素包括经济下行时期青年就业困难,宗教信仰和社会文化中的男权色彩,以及社会舆论对“躺平”的负面评价;内源性因素包括与青年关系紧密的初级群体的基础素养,以及青年对教育体系和社会现状的不满,而且部分青年的低欲望表现已成为他们抵御社会异化的另类方式。研究提出,面对这一全球普遍存在的社会现象,我们既要承认青年低欲望现象的合理性,营造宽松和谐的社会环境,也要通过政府、媒体、家庭和个人的多方联动,加强青年社交情感发展和能力培养,帮助青年从“躺平”中站起来。

In the global picture,the phenomenon of low desire of youth,represented by“lying flat”,has become a common problem faced by all countries in the world.The article focuses on the phenomenon of low desire among youth in the United States,the United Kingdom,Japan,South Korea,Brazil,India,Mexico and other countries,showing the differences in the performance of the countries around the world and analyzing the reasons for its emergence.The research points out that the formation of the phenomenon of low desire among young people is influenced by both exogenous and endogenous factors.Exogenous factors include the employment difficulties of young people in a period of economic downturn,the patriarchal nature of social culture and religious beliefs,and the negative assessment of social opinion of“lying down”;endogenous factors include the basic literacy of the primary groups closely related to young people,as well as the dissatisfaction of young people with the education system and the current state of society.The low desire manifestations of some young people have become an alternative way for them to resist social alienation.The article suggests that,in the face of this globally prevalent social phenomenon,we should not only recognize the reasonableness of the phenomenon of low desire among young people and create a relaxed and harmonious social environment,but also strengthen the social-emotional development of young people and the cultivation of their abilities through the linkage of the government,the media,the family and the individual,so as to help young people to rise up from their“lying flat”.
