城市家庭结构的流动性和多元性——基于昆明市个案资料的分析

以昆明市10户年轻家庭为案例,运用参与观察、深度访谈等研究方法,对这些城市家庭的结构进行分析研究。发现在新时期城市家庭中,其家庭的模式具有不同于西方的特点和变迁的趋势。此类年轻的家庭结构在时间、居住空间和家庭认同上都呈现出一种流动性和多元性,能够较为灵活地适应家庭和社会生活中的某种需求,并根据这些需求呈现出"有分有合"的特点,不能简单地用核心家庭、主干家庭或扩大家庭来进行划分。

Analysis： The Mobility and Diversity of the Urban Family Structures ：a Case Study Based on Families in Kunming

This research focuses on newly-emerging urban families with two features： mobility and diversity. Through participation, observation and interviews among 10 young families in Kunming City, familial structures, living style and sense of familial identification of these families are analyzed. The analytical results reveal that among the urban families in the new era, familial patterns differ from the ones in the West and appear a trend toward mobility. In terms of time, living space and familial identification, again, mobility and diversity are the characteristics, enabling the families to meet the requirements from familial and social changes with flexibility; and upon the requirements, these families also appear a pattern of “combination-and-separation”. Therefore, these families can not simply classified with nuclear families, mainstay families and extended families.
