1. 颠覆性技术创新如何影响居民幸福感？

   How Does the Disruptive Technological Innovation Affect Residents' Sense of Happiness? Evidence from China

主讲：贾海彦院长 (Prof. JIA Haiyan)

幸福是个体的价值追求，也是衡量社会稳定和谐的重要维度，需要技术进步与创新来驱动。而颠覆性技术创新通常伴随创造性破坏，所引发的经济和社会变革对居民幸福感产生重要影响。本文基于熊彼特增长范式，从时间和空间双重维度，提出了一个新的综合理论框架。基于中国家庭追踪调查数据以及工业企业数据，构建非平衡面板数据，探究颠覆性技术创新对居民幸福感的影响。结果表明：（1）颠覆性技术创新会显著影响居民幸福感，短期内有负向影响，在长期则会提升居民幸福感，这一结果在内生性检验和稳健性检验中仍然成立；（2）从影响机制来看，在短期，颠覆性技术创新会通过收入增进效应会提升居民幸福感，但不能抵消失业造成的幸福感损失；在长期，颠覆性技术创新通过提高经济发展水平和劳动者工作灵活性提升居民幸福感；（3）无论是长期还是短期，完善的就业和社会保障政策均会有效缓解颠覆性创新对居民幸福感的减损。鉴于上述发现，提出了一些有见地的政策启示。

Happiness involves the pursuit of value, is an important measure of social stability and harmony, and is driven by technological progress and innovation. Disruptive technological innovation is usually accompanied by creative destruction, and the economic and social changes it triggers have a significant impact on residents' happiness. This article proposes a new, comprehensive theoretical framework, based on the Schumpeter growth paradigm and the dimensions of time and space. Based on China Family Panel Studies data and industrial enterprise data, unbalanced panel data were used to explore the impact of disruptive technological innovation on residents' happiness. The results are as follows. (1) Disruptive technological innovation significantly affects residents' sense of happiness, with a negative impact in the short term, but an increase in residents' sense of happiness in the long term. This result still holds after the endogeneity test and robustness testing. (2) In terms of the impact mechanism, in the short term, the income enhancing effect of disruptive technological innovation increases residents' sense of happiness, but cannot offset the loss of happiness caused by unemployment. In the long term, disruptive technological innovation enhances residents' sense of happiness by improving the level of economic development and the flexibility of their work. (3) In both the long and short term, sound employment and social security policies effectively alleviate the negative impact on residents' happiness caused by disruptive technological innovation. Based on these findings, some insights for policy implication are proposed.

2. 现代化逆流中的新三代家庭与“老小结合”家庭支持体系研究

   A Study on the New Three-Generation Families and the "Elderly-Children Integrated" Family Support System amidst the Countercurrent of Modernization

主讲：闫紹華教授 (Prof. YAN Shaohua)

在人口老龄化与少子化同步发展、家庭结构快速变迁的背景下，传统家庭功能承压，多代家庭作为代际整合型家庭组织成为应对“一老一小”养老与抚幼双重压力的关键单元。本文对城乡多种新的多代家庭形态进行整合，重新定义了“新三代家庭”的概念，该类家庭宏观上是逆现代化、逆核心化的，微观上是下行式家庭主义践行的结果，其在居住安排、分工模式和资源流动上与传统三代家庭、现代核心家庭均表现出差异。在形成机制上，新三代家庭是家庭践行家庭能动主义、应对外部压力的产物：一方面，国家福利供给不足与市场挤压形成“金钱-时间”困境；另一方面，家庭依托东方“利他主义”传统与“新家庭主义”价值观构成的文化资本包，展现出强大韧性，通过“压力-资源-认知-策略”框架主动整合代际资源应对压力。新三代家庭的未来演变既蕴含空间扩容、技术赋能带来的积极路径，也隐含照料责任赤字、家庭功能再分配等结构性挑战。基于此，本文分析潜在政策需求，强调国家普惠性制度基础与地方性差异化政策延展的双重协同，从空间适配、主体协同与技术赋能三个维度提出“老小结合”的社区嵌入式家庭日支持体系构建方案，旨在为我国家庭政策体系转型提供理论支撑与实践路径。

Against the backdrop of simultaneous population aging and declining birth rates, coupled with rapid transformations in family structures, traditional family functions are under strain. Multi-generational families, as intergenerationally integrated family organizations, have become key units in addressing the dual pressures of supporting the elderly and raising the young. This paper integrates various emerging forms of multi-generational families in both urban and rural areas and redefines the concept of the "new three-generation family." Macroscopically, such families represent a counter-trend to modernization and nuclearization, while microscopically, they are the outcome of descending familism. They differ from both traditional three-generation families and modern nuclear families in terms of living arrangements, division of labor, and resource flows. In terms of formation mechanisms, the new three-generation family is a product of families exercising agency in response to external pressures: on the one hand, insufficient state welfare provision and market pressures create a "money-time" dilemma; on the other hand, drawing on cultural capital rooted in Eastern traditions of "altruism" and the values of "new familism," families demonstrate remarkable resilience. Through a "pressure-resource-cognition-strategy" framework, they proactively integrate intergenerational resources to cope with these pressures. The future evolution of the new three-generation family entails both positive pathways, such as spatial expansion and technological empowerment, and structural challenges, including care responsibility deficits and the reallocation of family functions. Based on this analysis, the paper examines potential policy needs, emphasizing the synergistic combination of universal state institutional foundations and locally differentiated policy extensions. It proposes a community-embedded family support system that integrates elderly and child care from three dimensions: spatial adaptation, multi-agent collaboration, and technological empowerment, aiming to provide theoretical support and practical pathways for the transformation of China’s family policy system.
