当代青年女性工作—家庭冲突研究——兼论中国家庭政策转向

Work-Family Conflict of Contemporary Young Women:Chinese Family Policy Reform

当代青年女性在劳动力市场中参与率逐步提高,但在性别分工、社会文化规范等机制的作用下,女性遭受到严重的"生育惩罚",工作—家庭间平衡关系被打破。受家庭规模小型化、家庭结构核心化、人口流动普遍化以及经济发展水平分化等因素影响,家庭传统支持功能被削弱,而现有家庭政策应对社会发展与家庭结构变迁的能力有限,进一步加剧了青年女性所面对的工作—家庭冲突。我们应借鉴国际上家庭政策改革实践的经验,结合本国社会现实,为青年女性及其家庭提供支持,以平衡工作—家庭冲突,促进性别平等,提升家庭福利水平。

The participation rate of young women in the labor market is gradually increasing,but under the impact of gender division,social and cultural norms,women suffer severe 'maternity penalty'and the work-family balance is broken. The traditional family support is weakened by the shrinking family size,the core family structure,the universalization of population migration and the uneven economic development. The existing family policy shows a limited capacity to cope with social development and changes in family structure.We should learn from the international practice of family policy reform and combine that with our social reality to provide support for young women and families to balance work-family conflict,promote gender equality and enhance family welfare.
