个人本位心态对生育意愿影响的质性研究

A Qualitative Study of the Effect of Individual-Based Mentality on Fertility Intentions

受个人主义思潮影响,当代青年的心态经历了由家本位到个人本位的重构,也引发了对生育的观念变革和生育意愿的抉择。通过对青年的个案质性研究,深入挖掘引导生育选择的个人因素,结果显示:当代青年面临生育抉择时,更优先考虑到个人的发展和利益,生育应给自己带来更美好的生活而不是降低现有生活质量。青年的生育问题是社会传承和发展的重要问题,为提高其生育水平,应从以下3方面入手:1) 引导青年正确看待家本位文化,理解家庭之义;2) 加强青年责任意识与大局意识,积极承担社会责任;3) 鼓励青年提高自我认可度,勇敢面对生育选择。

Influenced by the trend of individualism, the mentality of contemporary youth has undergone a reconstruction from family-oriented to individual-oriented, which has also triggered a change in the conception of childbearing and the choice of childbearing intention. Through a qualitative study of youth cases, we have explored in-depth the personal factors guiding fertility choices, and the results show that contemporary youth, when faced with fertility choices, prioritizes their personal development and interests, and that fertility should bring them a better life rather than lowering the existing quality of life. In order to improve the fertility level of young people, which is an important issue for social inheritance and development, we should start from the following three aspects: 1) guiding young people to correctly view the family-oriented culture and understand the meaning of the family;2) strengthening young people’s sense of responsibility and the overall situation, and actively undertaking social responsibility;3) encouraging young people to improve their self-acceptance and bravely face their fertility choices.
