农民工家庭福利功能变迁与家庭政策重构

Changes in Family Welfare Functions of Migrant Workers and Reconstruction of Family Policies

在中国传统社会中,家庭拥有重要的福利功能。但随着社会流动的加速,农民工的家庭福利功能却呈现出了萎缩化、转移化和市场化的衰退趋势,需要国家社会政策的积极干预。通过引入一个社会政策介入家庭福利的理论框架,发现当前我国农民工社会政策的干预行动总体上属于隐性家庭主义福利模式。农民工家庭政策的重构应秉持显性家庭主义的福利理念,助力家庭福利功能的培育,提升家庭履行福利责任的能力,支持家庭、强化家庭在社会成员福利供给中的作用,而非盲目地替代和承接其家庭福利功能。

In traditional Chinese society,the basic needs of the members of society,including their birth,aging,sickness and death almost happen in the family,which plays an extremely important welfare role.However,with the acceleration of social mobility,the family welfare function of migrant workers has shown a declining trend of shrinking,transferring and marketization,which requires the active intervention of national social policies.By introducing a theoretical framework in which social policies intervene in family welfare,it finds that the current socail policy interventions for migrant workers’families still belong to the implicit familyism welfare model.The reconstruction of migrant workers’family policy should embrace the welfare concept of explicit familialism,nurturing the welfare function of the family.This involves enhancing the family’s ability to fulfill its welfare responsibilities,providing support to the family,and reinforcing its role in the provision of welfare for society members.It is essential to avoid blindly substituting or taking over the family’s welfare function but rather to empower and strengthen the family’s capacity in fulfilling its inherent welfare duties.
