农村进城务工家庭“代际接力”合作育儿探析——基于X村的调查

Intergenerational Relay:A Collaborative Approach to Childcare in Migrant Families Based on a Survey of X Village

“代际接力”合作适应了进城务工家庭育儿的需要,能较好地抵御进城务工家庭育儿压力和风险。对X村进城务工家庭“代际接力”合作育儿进行调查,研究发现:“代际接力”合作育儿的实践在家庭结构、育儿方式和代际关系3个方面的形态都有自身的特征;它既有优势,也存在风险;“代际接力”合作育儿的生成逻辑有其结构性和功能性因素;同时,家庭会在代际关系、利益关系和伦理关系上进行内部自我机制的调适,以确保“代际接力”合作育儿的运行。对于关注和解释农村家庭育儿现象以及对家庭育儿政策的设计,在理论和实践上具有一定的借鉴作用。

The“intergenerational relay”model of childcare has emerged as a response to the needs of migrant families in China,effectively mitigating the pressures and risks associated with raising children in China’s rural areas.This study investi-gates the“intergenerational relay”model of childcare in X Village,exploring its characteristics,advantages,risks,and underly-ing mechanisms.The study reveals that the practice of“intergenerational relay”childcare model exhibits distinct features in terms of family structure,parenting styles,and intergenerational relationships.While this model offers several advantages,it also carries inherent risks.The study identifies both structural and functional factors that drive the formation of this model,highlight-ing how families internally adjust their intergenerational,economic,and ethical relationships to ensure the smooth operation of“intergenerational relay”childcare.These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of childcare practices within rural fami-lies and offer valuable insights for designing family childcare policies,both theoretically and practically.
