本文探讨了文化和社会结构因素与评估儿童价值观模式的差异儿童保育和儿童生存在尼泊尔西北部的藏族。这种评估所涉及的因素不仅包括性别偏见，还包括子女的兄弟姐妹地位、父母的婚姻稳定性、子女的合法性和家庭经济状况。这些模式可能会改变，但不会改变大家庭和赡养老人的传统，因为这些传统发挥着积极的社会作用。对高出生顺序儿童的歧视问题可能通过更容易获得现代避孕药具来解决。文章评估了所表达的理由，对儿童之间的歧视，以及他们如何支持的概念，即有限的家庭资源的权利取决于个人的价值，该家庭和复杂的民间信仰，掩盖了儿童疾病和死亡的责任。由于涉及的复杂因素和社区内和社区间的差异，信息来源的差异性儿童保育模式对于识别潜在的儿童风险、可能参与差异性保育的机制以及负责儿童价值评估和家庭资源分配的家庭成员变得特别有价值.
This article examines the cultural and social-structural factors associated with assessments of child value patterns of differential child care and child survival among ethnic Tibetans in northwest Nepal. Factors implicated in this assessment include not only sex biases but also child sibling position parents marital stability child legitimacy and the state of the household economy. These patterns may be susceptible to change without altering traditions of extended families and support of the aged that serve positive social functions. The problem of discrimination against children at high birth orders might be resolved by easier access to modern contraceptives. The article evaluates the expressed rationales for discriminating between children and how they are supported by the notion that rights to limited household resources depend on the individuals value to that household and by a complex of folk beliefs that obscure responsibility for child illness and death. Because of the complex factors involved and intra-and intercommunity variations informant-orginated models of differnetial child care become especially valuable for identifying potential children a risk the mechanisms likely to be involved in differential care and the household members responsible for child value assessments andhousehold resource allocations.
