All the time, the population issue is to restrain China from coordinating the important issue of sustainable development in an all-round way all the time, it is a key factor of influencing socio-economic development. Began in the seventies of the 20th century, in the face of the severe population situation, our country began to pursue birth control in the urban and rural areas in an all-round way, control population growth.
The State Council approve and disseminate " the on doing a good job of birth control report " 1971, control the index of population growth to include in the national economic development plan for the first time. On September 25, 1980, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China published " open letter on controlling the population growth issue to send to all Communist, League member ", mention clearly in the letter, " recommend a couple's only bearing a child " . 1982, 12 host of of party implement birth control confirm a fundamental state policy of our country as.
Child-bearing policy of carrying out a plan, our country give birth to little 400 million more than people, realize the intersection of population reproduction and historical transition of type ahead of time, having relieved the pressure to resources, the environment of population effectively, giving a powerful push to the development of economy and social progress.
The state basic policy carried out strictly helps China to succeed in avoiding population is out of control, but brought some prominent changes to Chinese society. One of these is with the implementation of birth control and change of family's consciousness, the only-child increases, family's average population drops gradually, the miniaturization trend appears in family composition.
According to the whole country being aged to do, investigate China average each population of family 4.4 people 1982, it was 3.7 people in 1995, it was 3.13 people in 2005, family's average population reduced 1.27 people among 23 years, about 28% of fall, urban family's structural miniaturization is more obvious, and this kind of trend is being still extended.
Meanwhile, the only-child's parents are always going gradually. The materials reveal, the women of our country bred age as 24 years old to 25 years old for the first time on average in 1979, this was meaning, responded to and planned the child-bearing policy at that time, only bore the child's parents of one, nowadays almost reach retirement age, begin to step into the old age. How much do this generation probably have? A news that Xinhua News Agency released on September 3, 1980 claims, 6,070,000 families got the one-child certificate in the whole country in 1979.
This is not a small number. Obviously, " the only son supports parents " Era come silently already,is it new one pieces wave in us subject.
Take Shanghai as examples, the family of only-child in Shanghai nearly has 3,050,000 at present, account for 60.2% of total number of families of the whole city; There are about 6,100,000 of only-children parents in the whole city, account for 43% of population of the household register. It is predicted, Shanghai entered in population at old stage newly in 2013 more than 80% are the only-child parents, after 2018 years, 240,000 to 340,000 only-children parents enter old stage every year.
" 421 " The family is the predicament of supporting parents
32 -year-old Xie Ke of this year, a company worked in Foshan, he and lover came to Guangdong from a small city in the south in Shan several years ago, having met the life here soon, and there is one's own a stretch of world in career. As only son of family, he a care one old parents of family most, make a phone call family soon every several days.
"Two old discipline grow up, have pieces of we of slight illness in on here serve, sometimes can only worry. I have thought of asking them to come to Foshan and live with us together too, but they have come once, live one wait, run, return to homeland month, it says to be to used to diet and climate of here, and even a neighbour speaking does not have usually. But however, around, at even if I look after either intentionally parents, the work is too busy. " Xie Ke says worriedly.
Like Xie Ke, nowadays in a lot of large cities in China, the only-children will have to face parents' question of supporting parents. They not merely have " Can't afford to raise children " Worry,it is " raise parents not to but also face straightly " Crisis.
For a long time, the mode is to support parents familily that the main Chinese society supports parents, " raise sons to support one in one's old age, store up grain against famine " It is a maxim followed for many years. This determines the supporting and mainly depending on descendants of old man, but not depend on the society like abroad. The intersection of family and change of structure with the development of society, only-child unable having no time, it looks after contradictions of old man to be more and more prominent, especially the new structure of family - -" 421 " Mode (four old men, two couple, a child) Forming,will not be able to afford two young people by 4 piece important task of supporting parents of old man, be lasted difficulty that family supported parents even more.
Xue Wen working in a media, it is the only daughter of the family. Though parents are over 50 years old now, the body is very healthy, but she with close attention thinks of questions of supporting parents in the future of parents early. The intersection of had better choose spouse targeting to her, in the future and only-child, otherwise will add a lot of pressures. She says: "This people of my parents, several siblings, look after parents and stand opposite each other a little more simply. The grandfather, grandmother can take turns to live in children's home, even if in hospital and can also nurse in turn with everybody. If I look for another only son, both of us will look after 4 old men in the future, also raise the child, does not really know how to deal with. "
The system demands urgently to set up to socialize and support parents newly
To" the only son supports parents " The predicament faced, relevant experts point out, set up and regard supporting parents the foundation at home as, the community supports parents in order to rely on, the service system of supporting parents supplemented by the organization supports parents, it is a direction of solving this problem.
The social security dean Xu Lin of Public Managerial College of Northwest University thinks, demands of the old age of the elderly are in many aspects: Respect of ensuring etc. including supporting, living caring for, spiritual consolation, medical treatment in economy. Among them the demand proportion is cared for by the life highest, this needs to set up and improve the socialized endowment security system which suit our country's national conditions.
Xu Lin thinks, under our country's present situation, must insist in a quite long period social pension and family support parents and combine together, give full play to the two their own advantages. Improve the community service to the elderly on one hand, develop various old people's homes, welfare home, apartment for elderly people, senior citizens' care centre,etc., give play to the function of the service organization of social pension.
