Abstract: Changes are taking place in the intention for old-age support of the middle-aged parents of only child in rural China，who are increasingly seeking social support or support by their own rather than family support with a considerable portion having no intention at all. Health status，economic status and social security largely determine the intention for old-age support of the middle-aged parents of only child. The preference for social support over family support is significantly associated with income，education，occupation and social security，while the preference for support by own over family support is significantly related to family size，income，age，education and health status. It is surprising that gender of the only child，land ownership and region do not have significant effects on their intention for old-age support.

摘要： 我国农村中年独生子女父母的养老观念正在发生变化，养老意愿“去家庭化”趋势明显，更多人依靠社会养老和个人养老，同时，还有不少农村中年独生子女父母对未来养老还没有打算。农村中年独生子女父母未来养老意愿是否明确，与他们的健康状况、经济状况、养老保障等因素有显著关系。夫妻收入、受教育程度、职业和是否拥有养老保障等因素影响农村中年独生子女父母对社会养老或者家庭养老的选择，家庭规模、夫妻收入、年龄、受教育程度、健康状况等因素影响农村中年独生子女父母对个人养老和家庭养老的选择。独生子女的性别、是否拥有土地以及区域对农村中年独生子女父母的养老意愿没有显著影响。
