摘要
以往关于中国家庭代际关系的研究往往侧重于分析子女对父母的赡养,而很少讨论父母对成年子女的帮助,以及这种帮助对传统赡养关系的影响。本文在分析"中国老年社会追踪调查"在2012年的试调查数据后发现,现在中国父母正在从经济和小孩照料等方面向他们的成年子女提供各种形式的帮助,而且父母的帮助(特别是小孩照料)对是否能够得到子女赡养和赡养的水平均有显著影响。分城乡的比较研究发现,父母的帮助对子女赡养行为的影响在城市表现得更加明显,这在一定程度上说明,随着社会现代化程度的提高,中国家庭养老赖以维持的基础已经发生了改变。
The prior research about intergenerational relationships in a Chinese context usually focuses on filial support to parents but rarely pays attention to parental support to adult children, and its impact on children＇ s feedback. In this paper, we summarize the existing literature on this topic and argue that parental support to adult children not only can solve real life needs but also lay the foundation for receiving filial return in the future. Based on the pilot surveyof China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey （CLASS） in 2012, we found that in today＇s China parents are providing abundant support for their adult children such as financial help and childcare. This support （particularly childcare） has a significant positive effect on children＇ s immediate and future filial return. In comparison to rural families, this positive effect is much stronger in urban families. This to some extent indicates that the foundation of filial piety in China has changed with the development of modernization. On one hand, both parents and children need each other＇s support at some particular points of life cycle therefore, intergenerational support in the future will be bidirectional rather than unidirectional. On the other hand, with the weakening of filial piety children＇s support to parents may change from unconditional support to conditional support. Whether or not children receive parental support in adulthood may become an important factor or condition of the amount of their support provided to parents.
