• 1993年台灣老年人口比達7.1%，正式邁入高齡化社會，我國從高齡社會進入超高齡社會只需7年，若與先進國比較，我國老化速度飛快，造成原因，台灣醫療水準高，平均壽命延長，再加上台灣人不生，老人越活越久，生育率卻直線下滑，「誰來照顧老人」成為最重要的社會課題。本研究家庭價值對老年者照顧意願的影響，採用中央研究院「台灣社會變遷基本調查計畫2011年第六期第二次：家庭組」資料進行研究，發現傳統思想，由兒子承擔奉養父母的責任，家中「媳婦」代替兒子甚至女兒，成為主要照顧公婆的角色，隨著女性教育年數增長，投入職場比例增高，以往兒子奉養父母，媳婦照顧公婆，轉變為兒子和女兒共同承擔，照顧親生父母的責任。家庭價值偏向傳統思想的年長男性，認為兒子照顧父母，但教育程度越高的受訪者或女性，卻偏向所有子女都應負起照顧父母的責任。父母親的健康及收入、子女年齡、婚姻、性別、全家每月收入、教育程度及有無扶養下一代都影響，子女照顧父母的意願，另外長者的居住型態從以往父母和兒子住，逐漸改變父母自己住或與配偶同住，期待減輕子女的負擔，也保留彼此的生活空間。
• We have 7.1% elderly population in 1993. In Taiwan, it takes only in 7 years form aged society to super-aging society while other countries take much more time. Taiwan’s high medical standards lengthen life expectancy. We have less and less new-born babies while we live longer and longer. The plummeted fertility rate makes “Who will take care of the elderly” become the most important social issue. In this study, I want to understand how the family values influence the responsibility of the elderly-caring. The sample data comes from "Taiwan Social Change Survey Project 2011 Basic sixth second: Family Group"(TSCS QuestionnaireⅠ). With the traditional, the caring parents' responsibility is the duty of sons’ wives. Now with the increase of women’s education years and female working rates, sons and their wives take care of sons’ parents together. In this study, first,I found the elder males with traditional family values still want their sons to take care of themselves. Second, women or the persons with higher education tend to share the duty of caring parents. Third, the health and income of parents, children age, marriage, sex, income, years of education and having the third generation will affect the attitude of taking care responsibility. Forth, parents who live with their children are fewer and fewer. They want to live by themselves or with their couples, and they like to retain each space.
