Analysis of Vulnerability Measurement and Influence Mechanism of Rural Left-behind Children——Taking Ning County,Qingyang City,Gansu Province as an Example
Children's development has always been a key concern of national development,and left-behind children,as a special group,are subject to many potential risks due to parent-child alienation caused by long-term separation from their parents.Taking Ning County,Qingyang City,Gansu Province as the study area,this paper conducted a questionnaire survey on 346 left-behind children and constructed a vulnerability evaluation index system from three dimensions,namely,exposure risk,sensitivity,and adaptive capacity.The vulnerability of left-behind children was evaluated using a vulnerability model,their vulnerability types were classified using cluster analysis,and the obstacle factors affecting the vulnerability of left-behind children in the region were identified using a barrier degree model.Research findings:(1)the vulnera-bility of left-behind children is generally moderately high;(2)vulnerability is characterized by different perspectives:boys show higher vulnerability than girls,secondary school students(expect those in the first year)have higher vulnerability than elementary school students,children left behind by both parents are more significantly affected than those left behind by one parent,and there is variability in the impact of different left-behind roles on children;(3)the vulnerability of left-behind children is categorized into five types:safety vulnerability,material vulnerability,emotional vulnerability,health vulnerability,and overall vulnerability;(4)the key factors affecting the vulnerability of left-behind children are the degree of government policy support,the availability of educational resources,material living conditions and family atmos-phere,and the individual's psychological condition and interests.Reducing the vulnerability of left-behind children can ensure their healthy growth and have positive significance for achieving rural revitalization.
