分化、竞争与压力的代际传递——对农村老年人自杀现象的理解

    Differentiation, Competition and Intergenerational Transmission of Pressure:An Understanding of Suicide of the Rural Elderly People

    • 摘要: 从分化、竞争与社会压力的代际转移和传递分析了农村老年人自杀现象。通过实际调查,阐析了农村由于农民分化而带来的社会占有的不平等和资源分配的不均衡,无论哪个阶层的农民都不会养尊处优;同时,农村社会性竞争的特征总体呈高度竞争态势和阶梯性,且无退出机制,年轻人快速地逃离村庄进城务工。由于村庄竞争往往与农民的人生任务捆绑在一起,使得中下层家庭竞争的压力容易转移并集中到中年人身上,中年人的负担和压力通过代际责任传递到了老年人身上,一旦老年人不能创造价值、无法自理及生病之后,老年人就成了子代的纯负担和累赘,就很容易在子代挤压和老年人为子代着想的合力下走向自杀。提倡将老年人从子代竞争中抽离出来,变家庭养老为社会养老,在新农保的政策下,确保农村老年人的生活和希望。

       

      Abstract: This paper analyzed the suicide of the rural elderly people from the perspective of the intergenerational transfer and transmission of differentiation, competition and social pressure. Through the actual investigation, this paper analyzed the inequality of the social occupation and the imbalance of resource allocation caused by the differentiation of farmers in rural areas, and no matter what class the farmers are in, they will not provide enough for themselves and live comfortably; While the characteristics of the rural social competition are highly competitive and stepped, and there is no mechanism existing. Young people flee the village quickly to work in the city. Because the competition of villages is often tied to the life of farmers, the pressure of the middle-and-lower class family competition can easily be transferred and concentrated on the middle-aged people. The burden and pressure of middle-aged people are transferred to the elderly people through intergenerational responsibility. Once the elderly people cannot create value, cannot take care of themselves and become ill, they become the pure burden and cumbersome of their descendants, and they are apt to commit suicide for the pressure and the consideration of their descendants. This paper advocated that the elderly people should be independent, the family pension should be changed into the social pension, and the lives and the cares of the rural elderly people should be secured under the new agricultural insurance policy.
