The function of an extended family and social welfare system in high-aged rural society

这项研究的结论如下：首先，一个大家庭，其中包括老人之间的关系。住在金山村的父母和他们住在其他城镇的成年子女，都在正常运转。这个函数是双向的。这种关系绝对有助于从孩子到父母的农业，照顾年迈的父母或地面的孩子，双方在精神上和经济上给予支持，这种关系是不稳定的，过渡性的，并且有消失的趋势。这一特点符合以下事实。那就是住在山山的老父母在冬天带着孩子搬到别的地方定居。这是一个大家庭的“变形”。我详细研究了15个大家庭。其次，本研究得出以下结论。我们必须把大家庭的功能与社区的社会福利制度结合起来。但是，这个函数是有限的。另一方面，社区，邻居和亲戚有时真的帮助老年人。因此，我们必须把这个支持系统和大家庭在社区社会福利系统中的作用结合起来。第三，在社区中，居民们互相帮助。这种合作活动是多种多样的，独立于行政管理。这是社会福利制度的重要组成部分。第四，要提高居民的规范意识，即由传统意识转向个体意识和独立意识。

The study was concluded as followsFirst, an extended family, which includes was the relationship between the old.Parents living in Kaneyama village and their adult children living in other towns, is functioning really. This function is bilateral. That relationship is definitely helping in farming from children to parents and in care of old parents or ground children, supporting mentally and economically by bilaterally, and this relationship is unstable and transitional, and have a tendency to vanish. This feature was conformed as following fact. That is old parents lived in Kaneyama moved and settled with their children in other places during winter. This is "Metamorhpose" of an extended family. I researched fifteen extended families in detail.Secondly, this study was become to conclusion as follows. We have to a function of the extended family with social welfare system in community. But, that function is limited. An the other hand, community, neighbors and relatives sometimes help old peoples really. And so, we have to combine this supporting system and the function of extended family in social welfare system in community.Third in community, inhabitants is helping in need each other. This cooperative activities is various and independent of administration. This is an important composition of social welfare system.Forth, we have to improve the norm consciousness of inhabitants, that is, revolving that of traditional to individual and independent.
