“既想生”又“不想生”——对未育青年生育矛盾心态的探索性研究

通过互联网调查平台对4030名未育青年的生育意愿进行实证研究,发现大约五分之一的未育青年对生育持有矛盾心态,其中生育是自然规律、满足情感需求、增强婚姻稳定性、外部压力是他们想要生孩子的主要原因,工作挤压、生育能力焦虑、对孩子成长环境担忧是他们不想生孩子的主要原因。研究还发现,对生育重要性的认同、对自己有时间精力去生育孩子和家庭经济收入能够负担起生育孩子的积极评估都显著降低未育青年的生育矛盾性,但对家人能够为生育提供照料支持的评估与未育青年生育矛盾性没有显著相关性。有鉴于此,生育支持政策应该从重塑生育重要性、构建生育友好型工作制度、缓解生育能力焦虑等方面有针对性地消除未育青年的生育矛盾性,促使他们的生育意愿从矛盾型转向确定生育型。

Chinese Contemporary Artists(8) Ji Dachun:Imagine It,Paint It

正"There is nothing that can’t be painted;if I can imagine it,I can paint it,and I can imagine a lot."WHEN I think of Ji Dachun,I can imagine him sitting down with Rene Magritte over tea and discussing theories on painting or playing chess with Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray.Dachun is a true surrealist and there are simply not that many contemporary Chinese surrealist painters.He is as unique as the subjects of his paintings that,for all their diversity,are consistently whimsical,irreverent,absurd,and always minimal like the workspace in which they are created.
