摘要

本文的目的是透過對近三、四十年來我國家庭變遷的回顧，提議未來因應之道。作者從三個變數：人口與家庭結構、家庭資源、家庭關係，以及十二個指標來分析我國家庭的變遷，發現我國的家庭持續往小型、多元、差異、功能萎縮、以及脆弱等方向轉變。為了因應家庭的變遷，國家該不該介入家庭？作者舉出三種不同的意識形態：保守主義、自由主義、女性主義，對國家介入家庭的不同邏輯思考，藉此論述來勾勒我國應有的家庭政策。作者主張我們應以支持家庭而非規制家庭作為我國制定家庭政策的基本原則。

This article examines the families in transition in Taiwan in the last three decades, and proposes a national policy on family to response the rapid social change. The author analyze the changing families by means of three dimensions: demographic and family structure, family resource, and family relationship, and find out that today's Taiwanese families have changing to more small, multiple, diversified, declining and vulnerable than that in the 1980s. Should the government intervene into families? Three ideologies on social policy-conservative, liberal and feminist, are introduced to realize the content of family policy. Based on the findings, this paper argues that the government should launch out a national family policy to support families as soon as possible.
