With the acceleration of urbanization and industrialization in China,the transfer of rural labor force to cities has been promoted,and a special group of migrant workers has emerged.At the same time,a large number of empty nesters have emerged in rural areas.With the continuous improvement of China's pension system,the material life of the elderly has been basically guaranteed,but the need for spiritual life has been ignored by us.Because the empty nester's children are not around all the year round,their spiritual life is more scarce,which causes a series of problems such as physical and mental illness.These problems are not conducive not only to the happiness of the elderly in their later years,but also to the harmonious development of society.Therefore,we should attach great importance to the spiritual pension of empty nesters,which will be one of the key issues concerning the work of the elderly.This paper studies the spiritual endowment of empty-nest elderly in H Village,Shanxi Province.Because the spiritual life of the elderly is difficult to define,this paper chooses semi-structured interviews and participatory observation methods in order to better understand the spiritual endowment of empty-nest elderly.In addition,in the analysis of research results,it chooses a research method combining quantitative and qualitative methods.In order to explain the current situation of spiritual pension more comprehensively.As for the spiritual pension of empty nesters,this paper analyses the problem from five chapters.The first chapter is the introduction,which mainly states the research background,significance,literature review,concept definition,theoretical application and research methods of spiritual pension for rural empty nesters.In the second chapter,the author takes H village as an example,using the method of field interviews and questionnaire filling,describes in detail the situation of spiritual support for empty nesters in H village,and describes this situation from three aspects: objective spiritual support,subjective spiritual satisfaction and self-spiritual appeal of empty nesters.Among them,the spiritual support objectively obtained by empty nesters includes the support from family,friendship and "facial support" : the subjective spiritual support of empty nesters includes three spiritual self-support modes: the purpose of killing time,the complement of spiritual pleasure and the realization of self-worth;and the spiritual appeal of empty nesters is divided into content-strengthening mode and content-increasing mode.There are three modes: adding mode and content transplanting mode.The third chapter finds out the existing problems and causes according to the analysis of the present situation of spiritual endowment for empty nesters in H villages.First,the empty nesters themselves are lonely and depressed because of their lack of understanding of spiritual endowment and their negative attitude to collective activities in villages;secondly,the miniaturization of family structure in modern society and their children's emphasis on material and neglect of spirit.Now it has caused the spiritual emptiness of empty nesters;then it is the lack of spiritual pension platform for empty nesters in rural communities and the lack of collective activities for empty nesters that has resulted in the simplification of the daily activity space of empty nesters;finally,the lack of social guidance for spiritual pension by the government and the imperfection of laws and regulations make the rights and interests of empty nesters spiritual pension unable to be protected.Barrier.Chapter ? puts forward the main countermeasures on the spiritual pension of empty-nest elderly in rural areas from micro to macro from the four aspects of empty-nest elderly themselves,family,village committee and township government.Among them,empty-nest elderly themselves are the core of spiritual pension,family is the foundation,village committee is the support,township government is the guarantee,and four aspects are combined to help the rural empty-nest elderly live a peaceful and happy life.Blessed old age,the real achievement of "old to support,old to enjoy".The fifth chapter is the conclusion of this study,mainly including the research results of this study,the shortcomings of this study and the author's expectations for the follow-up study.The main achievements of this study are as follows: defining the two concepts of empty-nester and spiritual endowment,conducting in-depth investigation and Analysis on the spiritual endowment of empty-nester in H village,and putting forward relevant countermeasures for the spiritual endowment of empty-nester in rural areas;the main shortcomings of this study are lack of in-depth investigation,lack of comprehensive references and low level of academic research.The author expects to achieve two points in the follow-up study as far as possible: one is to grasp the status quo of spiritual pension of empty-nest elderly in rural areas from both horizontal and vertical directions,and the other is to understand the problems of spiritual pension of empty-nest elderly in rural areas in different regions of the country,so as to grasp the status quo of spiritual pension of empty-nest elderly in rural areas as a whole,and the other is to provide spiritual pension for The way of follow-up survey,detailed understanding of empty nest elderly specific mental pension mode;the second is to hope that different groups of elderly mental pension research,comparative analysis of the differences and similarities between different groups.
