空巢家庭是近年來出現(xiàn)的一種新型的家庭結(jié)構(gòu)。在這類家庭中，老年人獨(dú)居，子女不在身邊。由于中國正在迅速步入老齡化社會，空巢老人的數(shù)量還在不斷增加。
中國經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)力的不斷增強(qiáng)和社會轉(zhuǎn)型的加速使得現(xiàn)今的家庭結(jié)構(gòu)發(fā)生了深刻的變化。隨著人們不斷地追求自由的生活方式和更多的生活空間，大家庭結(jié)構(gòu)已經(jīng)不再是年輕一代的理想選擇。年輕人婚后多數(shù)都選擇核心家庭形式，不和父母住在一起，這就導(dǎo)致了空巢家庭的出現(xiàn)。據(jù)預(yù)測，空巢家庭將是21世紀(jì)中國城市和農(nóng)村的主要家庭形式。
The empty nest is a kind of new family structure emerging in recent years, in which the old generation is left alone in a family without their children around. As China is rapidly entering an aging society, the number of empty nesters is still on the increase.
As China’s national economic strength has been greatly enhanced and the social transformation has rapidly accelerated, there is a profound change in today’s family structure. With an increasing demand of free lifestyles and more living space, the extended family structure is no longer the ideal choice for the younger generation. After they get married, most of them choose the nuclear family lifestyle, leaving their parents alone. Thus the empty nest families are formed. It is estimated that the empty nest family will become the major family pattern in both urban and rural China in the 21st century.
