ABSTRACT

By the end of 2024, the population aged 65 years and older in South Korea exceeded 20%, while in China surpassed 15.6%. Caring for the elderly has become a critical issue in East Asia. The family-oriented social welfare system cannot accommodate new developments, such as declining birth rates, high divorce rates, and low marriage rates. The Confucian ideal of family appears to be unsustainable. In order to tackle these challenges, this paper argues that we should maintain the core values of Confucianism while embracing these changes. Regarding the care of the elderly, the Confucian ideal of family may retain its commitment to the relational understanding of filial piety without preserving other traditional elements.

摘要

截止至2024年年底，65岁及以上人口在韩国的占比已超过20%，在中国也突破了15.6%。养老已成为东亚的一个关键议题。家庭导向型社会福利体系无法适应诸如生育率下降、高离婚率及低结婚率等新发展。儒家的家庭理想似乎难以为继。为了应对这些挑战，本文主张，我们应该在坚守儒家核心价值的同时接纳这些变化。在养老方面，儒家的家庭理想或能保持其对孝道的关系性理解，而无需固守其他传统要素。
