Consciousness about old parent support and attitudes toward old age among middle-aged women

中年一代退休后有父母，老年父母的赡养一直是个问题。此外，中年一代开始考虑他未来将过上什么样的老年生活。本研究的目的是了解老年人的养老意识和对晚年的态度。这些数据基于2001年在静冈市进行的研究。415名年龄在40-55岁的已婚女性接受了访谈，结果如下：(1)中年女性认为自己想要过一段不依赖孩子的晚年生活。现在，他们要么赡养长子领导的年迈的父母，要么把年迈的父母的赡养留给长子。然而，他们希望自己的晚年生活不同于这些现在正在做的年迈的父母的赡养。他们希望自己能有一个丈夫和一个女儿来照顾。希望长子新娘照顾的只有0.5%。(2)与孩子家庭生活时，希望与孩子家庭分开居住空间、家庭经济分开、一顿饭吃。(3)他们认为自己不想在经济上依赖一生和一个孩子。为了实现中年一代所希望的老年生活，需要维持住房状况、经济条件以及社会保障制度和完整性。此外，在数量上增加优质的社会福利服务也是不可或缺的。
