乡村振兴视野下农村留守妇女的新特点与突出问题

党的十九大报告将乡村振兴提到了战略高度,在重视城乡融合的基础上推行农业农村优先发展。除吸引优秀人才返乡创业、返乡就业外,中国的乡村振兴战略还必须调动农村现有劳动力的积极性和创造性。但中国长期以来的工业化和城市化进程已经使流动人口与留守人口现象发生了很大的变化。流动人口的急剧增长和留守人口相对减少相辅相成。农村留守妇女在总体数量上已经大大减少,留守地也从农村转向乡镇乃至县城。概言之,现阶段的农村留守妇女是经过长期市场和政策筛选后的剩余群体,她们面临着更为沉重的照料负担、更为严峻的婚姻危机和更难启齿的疾病困扰。农村留守妇女的这些新特点和突出问题需要得到政府更有的放矢的关注和干预,使她们能够更好地参与到乡村振兴中来。

新经济与后发展效应:中国面临的机遇与挑战

新经济是以信息经济与高技术为主要支撑、以生态经济协调发展为核心的知识经济和可持续发展经济，是一种全新的经济形态、经济模式和发展道路。目前国内对新经济的理解还不一致，质疑者认为新经济是以发达国家为主的，对发展中国家是一个陷阱；肯定者认为新经济给发展中国家提供了机遇，使他们有可能实现赶超的梦想。我们以为，新经济问题体现了经济认识的两个进步，一是提出科学技术是促进世界经济增长的内在机制并从这个角度来研究和解释世界经济问题；二是认为可持续发展是一种全新的发展思路和发展战略，这无疑是人类关于社会发展问题在…
