中国农村夫妻权力关系研究--基于区域差异视角的分析

摘要

基于第三期中国妇女社会地位调查数据，从区域差异视角对农村夫妻权力关系的基本状况和发展变化进行了分析。研究发现，尽管农村女性在个人及家庭事务中的决策权有所提高，但农村夫妻权力关系整体上处于不均衡状态。主要表现为：妻子承担了全部或绝大部分的家务劳动；丈夫在家庭中更有实权的现象比较普遍，在家庭重大事务决策中以丈夫意见为主的比例明显高于妻子；“男主女从”、“男主外，女主内”等传统观念在农村地区仍得到较高程度的认同。研究还发现，中国农村夫妻权力关系状况存在较为明显的区域差异。%Based on the Third National Survey on the Social Status of Chinese Women, this study analyzes the basic situation and changes of marital power relations in rural China from the perspective of regional differences. The results are rural women’s autonomy in handling personal matters and their participation in decision-making of family affairs have improved, but marital power relations in rural China are still characterized by imbalance and inequality. In rural households, the wife bears all or most of the housework;the husband is still the main decision-maker in major family affairs;“men managing external affairs, women internal”,“subordination of Female to Male”and other traditional gender stereotypes gain a higher degree of recognition in China’s rural areas. It was also found that obvious regional differences exist in marital power relations in rural China.
