Report on the After-school Life Status of Children in the Context of"Double Reduction"Policy:Labor Practice
As an important part of Chinese children's after-school life,labor practice is of great significance to implementing the"double reduction"policy and training socialist builders and successors with all-round development of moral,intellectual,physical,aesthetics and labor education.A research group was set up in 2023 with the joint efforts of the China National Children's Center,College of Education at Capital Normal University,and Institute of Social Science Survey at Peking University,which conducted a national sample survey on the after-school status of children in the context of"double reduction"policy in 12 cities of 11 provinces across China.It has some findings shown as below:the participation rate of labor practice activities of children of all grades at primary school is higher than that of children of all grades at junior middle school,showing a tendency of inverted"V"letter.Among them,the lowest is the participation rate of labor practice activities of junior high school students.The service labor participation rate of children in compulsory education is relatively low.Urban children and those parents with better education backgrounds and incomes have a higher participation rate in labor practice activities,and they participate in service labor more frequently.The research group thus draws its conclusion that we should speed up the construction of labor education curriculum system and encourage junior middle school students to participate in labor practice activities;increase social support to improve the service labor supporting system;and actively promote the coordination of family,school and community education,and provide equal opportunities for labor practice.
