摘要:

本文在总结国内外老年人照料研究的基础上,提出老年人日常照料的角色介入模型,其核心是三个规律:即(1)成本命题:一个角色介入老年人日常照料的成本越大,其介入照料的概率就越低;(2)邻近命题:与被照料者的地理和社会邻近度越高,照料角色介入的可能性就越高;(3)责任命题:对被照料者的责任感越高,照料者介入的可能性就越大。由此三个命题所延伸出的六个假设,通过多元正态概率模型对2000年“中国城乡老年人口状况一次性抽样调查”的原始数据进行分析,结果显示,多数假设得到数据的支持。这一研究结果对厘清老年人照料的社会化和家庭照料之间的关系及其理性的公共政策选择,提供了新的视角和理论依据。

Abstract:

Based on the literature review of the elder care in China, a role engagement model of elder care is specified in this paper. This model is composed of three core propositions: (1) the cost proposition the higher the costs, the lower the probability for a person to involve in elder care; (2) the proximity propositionthe shorter the distance (geographical or social) between the caregiver and the carereceiver, the higher the probability for a person to take the caregiver role; (3) the obligation propositionthe stronger the obligation felt toward the carereceiver, the higher the probability for the caregiver to engage in elder care. Most of the six hypotheses derived from these three propositions are supported by the results from a multivariate normal probability analysis of the raw data of the 2000 China’s Urban and Rural Old Population Sampling Survey. The findings from this study have provided a new angle and a theoretical basis to understand the relationship between state care and family care for the elderly, and to select public policies rationally.
