The research report of China's urban residents quality of life


From the point of national development strategy, the report clearly put forward the party's 18 "struggle to build a well-off society in an all-round way" of working platform, from "construction" to "completed", the change of the word, is a qualitative leap;Change "gold content" of the word is very high, for China's social development provides a visual and touch, feel the phased target, make the comprehensive benefit of the population, a higher level of well-off society prospects for more clearly in front of the national people's, will greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of the national people's struggle.From the point of social development process, China's economic and social reform into the intricacies of the critical period, especially with China's economic development, many scholars have pointed out that China is facing the problem of "middle-income trap".[1] from a macro point of view, the "middle-income trap" refers to a country after middle income level, economic growth is slowing, failed to continue to narrow the income gap with developed countries, the reason is that in industrial and technical structure cannot be faster than the developed countries constantly upgrade.[2] and cultivating middle class grow a microeconomic base of economic development and social stability.Before the former world bank east Asia bureau chief economist, Mr M callas, entrusted by the Chinese government in the participation research China's medium and long-term development and transformation projects, the transformation of China in order to realize the high income, must speed up the growth of the middle class.Urban residents, especially the middle class life, however, the major changes in demand structure, the spiritual needs, to society, to give more attention to the environment, is the inevitable trend of the development of human social development.Social development strategy research institute Chinese academy of social sciences in May 2013, conducted a questionnaire survey "social attitude and social development of China".Based on the survey data, formed about 2013 urban residents quality of life study.In 2012 China's urban residents' quality of life research foundation, the purpose of this report is to follow the current situation of the urban residents' quality of life of 2012 year China, characteristics, structure and influencing factors.This report in the hierarchy of needs theory, based on social stratification theory, social conflict theory, tries to establish the quality of life of analytical framework, the livelihood of the people to the nation from city to city construction and development provides new ideas and provide the basis for social policy analysis and formulation.The survey has gained rich data for analysis of quality of life and its influencing factors to provide comprehensive data support, especially about material life (income, housing, health, etc.), social and emotional life, society, environment and other important subjective information in the field of life, and with the subjective feeling as a measure of people's living level in terms of comprehensive indicators.Specifically, overall satisfaction report to people's life, people's confidence in the future life as measurement index, to "material needs", "social needs", "self into demand" and "social environment needs" four categories of indicators to measure the quality of people's lives.The policy meaning [3] this report is that it provides overall analysis framework about the quality of life, promoting the construction of the livelihood of the people on the basis of deep analysis on how to put forward some policy Suggestions.
A, concepts, and the index systemThe quality of life is mainly refers to people on their current living conditions and social environment of a kind of subjective feeling, is the needs of people on their life satisfaction of subjective feeling.Although maslow's needs hierarchy theory was proposed, namely the main principle is the basic need of human life according to the advantage or strength in class, but the level of these exist and there is a certain degree of order and the difference.Any need to satisfy the most fundamental is the need to be calm, a more advanced needs.According to maslow's demand theory [1], this report is mainly to investigate people's material life, social and emotional life, achievements and social quality of four areas of subjective feeling.With the differentiation of social groups, people's demands increasingly diversified demand structure and life.(a) analytical frameworkQuality of life index includes people desires or needs satisfied the interests of the objective conditions that produce happiness, or the objective things, also contains the psychology of people desires or needs are met, namely the subjective feeling of happiness and satisfaction.In 1972, Eric walter radmanovic will people "basic needs" is divided into three levels namely material needs, social needs and self-actualization needs.Demand [2], "material" refers to the physical and emotional satisfaction;"Social emotion demand" refers to contact the society and the needs of the support, the main subjective indicators is happiness;The achievements of "self demand" refers to give full play to their potential to create demand.Social quality research from the earliest European social policy studies on the analysis of the European countries people life quality, but social scientists has always attached great importance to emphasize the macro social system arrangement and structure influence on people's behavior constraints and its consequences, think people's specific life deeply rooted in the social environment of survival.As an open, inclusive and harmonious and fair social system and social system arrangement can maximize the care for the interests of most people, the practice of justice, fair and transparent, encouraging people to promote equal opportunities and equal participation, is conducive to the growth and development of people and a healthy life.In this sense, people need a benign social system, a healthy social environment, institutional arrangement of a harmonious society.This report introduced a concept of social quality analysis, social quality is regarded as an important content of people's living quality, and discussed the social quality impact on people's life satisfaction and confidence degree.This report from two Angle analysis the subjective feeling of people, one is the current situation of the people's life satisfaction index, one is the people's confidence in the future life index, and from the material life, social and emotional life, self-realization and social quality examined four areas.
1, the material lifeMaterial life is mainly refers to the most primitive, the most basic physiological needs, such as air, water, food, clothing, housing, medical treatment and so on.If not satisfied, have life risk.That is to say, it is the most strongly at the bottom of the inevitable need, is also a powerful motivation to push people to action, if not satisfied, for the society will greatly threaten social stability and social development.This report in the following five aspects of subjective feeling as a measure of material life quality indicators: personal income, the condition of family economy, housing, health, and social status.2, social emotionsSocial emotion demand refers to the individual ownership and the need of love, is refers to the personal desire for family, community, friends, colleagues, caring understanding, is about friendship, trust, warmth, love needs.We mainly in the following three aspects as social emotions need to meet the status indicators: family relationship, interpersonal relationship and social support.  3, your achievementsFrom the individual level, the need of self-actualization is the highest level of needs (maslow, 1943);From the point of social hierarchy, self-actualization is social innovation and development power foundation, the individual in the process of self-realization to achieve social innovation and promoting social progress.Self achievement at the individual level to satisfy this need is required to complete the job commensurate with his abilities, make the best play to their potential ability, become the desired character.This is a creation of need.Self-actualization means fully, actively, selflessly, concentrating with rapt attention need to experience life achievement refers to strive for success, the pursuit of superiority, hope to do the best.We mainly in the following four aspects related to self-realization to measure the meet state of self-actualization needs: work value identity, job satisfaction, job prospects, personal future prospects.4, social qualityInstitute of the quality of the main focus of the society is not in the daily life of people (individual) and the living conditions of education, health, environment and so on, the more lies in the coordination of social structure, system coordination and integration of different social groups, social justice and social harmony conditions, social economic security provided by the society for each individual moral life and cultural life, social conditions, and the condition of social participation and social democracy.It advocated by enhancing social solidarity and social cohesion force to promote the harmonious development of society, promote social quality.Social quality is good or bad quality of its social environment condition of feeling and evaluation.Take a look at the theory to construct the social quality of four dimensions analysis framework: 1) social facilities (or social economic security);(2) social empowerment of social empowerment);3) social inclusion;4) social cohesion (social cohesion).According to the social quality theory, we construct index system about social quality 。
(2) index and measurementQuality of life refers to the good and bad of people's living conditions, the level of living conditions, is refers to the degree of the satisfaction of needs of people's lives, especially in people's life demand meet the degree of subjective feeling.Specifically, we chose the present situation of people's life satisfaction and the degree of confidence in the future life of two indicators.Life satisfaction and confidence in the future life of the 5 likert scale method is used for measurement. satisfaction index: the level of personal income level, housing, health, work conditions, life stress, family economic status, family relations, interpersonal relationship, social status, the development opportunities and social environment level 10 aspects such as comprehensive evaluation.Are classified as "very dissatisfied", "not satisfied", "general", "more satisfied", "very satisfied" five levels, by adding each item score, get satisfaction index score.(2) confidence index: the income of the individual level, housing, health, work conditions, life stress, family economic status, family relations, interpersonal relationship, social status, the change of development opportunities and comprehensive evaluation on social environment level change, by adding each item scores, have confidence in the future life index score.To be sure, the scale of each item is 5 scale, accumulative scores after may be due to different item have differences, each item is assign points 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 points.We will be 5 likert scale conversion is 0, after accumulation, divided by inventory item number, so the final score was reduced.(3) operationalization and questionnaire surveyIn judgment on the basis of the above theory, we carried out this year "questionnaire for social attitude and social development of China".In this questionnaire, we designed a special topic in later production scale and the measurement of Chinese urban residents life quality level.Survey of the inference of overall is China's urban areas of the population live in the age of 16 or more, specific operation is defined as a mainland Chinese municipality directly under the central government, cities at prefectural level, living in the community in the city at county level (neighborhood) population of jurisdiction of 16 years old and above.Sampling method to take four stages (municipal districts and county-level cities, residents' committees, household, personal) complex sampling design, survey in April 2013 to may, between ultimate recycling effective questionnaire 7114 copies.
Second, the present situation of urban residents live in 2013 the objective background
    The objective of people's life background refers to those who can determine condition, including the material life, working conditions, health and social life, etc.Sociological study modestly to wealth, power, prestige, the most distinguish between basic indicators with the degree of community resources, at the same time as the main dimensions of social stratification.In this section we analyze occupational prestige in the regional income level, education level and type, household type, living type, education level, unit type, the difference of ownership, management level, the distribution of subjective social status, analysis of income level, level of education and the correlation between and among occupational prestige.
Statistical results show (see table 2.2), education level significantly influence the income level, education level, the higher the family income level is higher.Family income level significant regional differences, per capita income level behind the eastern region in the Midwest.Nature of the unit has a significant effect on the income level of respondents.The foreign capital enterprise income level significantly higher than that of state-owned and collective enterprises, and state-owned or collective enterprise income level is significantly higher than private enterprises.Unit type have a significant impact on the income level of respondents.Higher proportion of middle-income families in eastern region, the eastern region to 51.6% middle-income families, middle-income families in central area ratio is 48.8%, the western region to 35.3% middle-income families.Foreigners and locals personal monthly income and family monthly income there are significant differences, including foreigner respondents personal monthly income of respondents monthly income is significantly higher than locals.
(2) the level of educationRespondents' level of education a significant gender, nationality, differences between urban and rural areas, there is no obvious earthly type difference.We will respondents level of education is divided into "primary school and the following", "middle school", "high school or technical secondary school", "college degree and above," four grades.According to statistics, there is significant gender difference level of education, level of education is significantly higher than male than female education degree (F = 6.62; Sig =. 010).Respondents ethnic relations with level of education, education of the minority nationality's education level was significantly lower than the han nationality degree (F = 25.34; Sig =. 000).Respondents dependency of the type and level of education significantly, the relationship between the cities and counties in the participants' level of education is significantly higher than outside the cities and counties in the participants' education degree (F = 24.87; Sig =. 000).The household registration system to have significant influence on the level of education, respondents china-africa agricultural census register population than education degree significantly higher than that of the rural population of education degree (F = 124.31; Sig =. 000).(3) professional reputationOccupational prestige is a comprehensive index, is considering a variety of professional power, status, income level and other factors on the basis of various professional give certain popularity score, all classes were assigned numerical value range of 0-100, the greater the value, the higher occupational prestige.The results showed that there are significant gender, education level, occupational prestige political landscape.Occupational prestige, male occupational prestige is significantly higher than female respondents averages 47.50 points, a male occupational prestige women occupational prestige of 46.43 points.By the higher education level, the higher the occupational prestige of respondents.Respondents had a remarkable political landscape and the relationship between occupational prestige, party member's professional reputation significantly higher than that of non-party people professional reputation.The hukou system have significant influence on the difference of occupational prestige still, respondents china-africa agricultural census register population than occupational prestige was significantly higher than that of the rural population of occupational prestige.
