Abstract
The duration of the influence in city modernisation, new technologies were coming with the advanced civilisation of the society , in view of the improvement of the medical services and the changeover value stand point of the society, all countries around the world have noted the high death and birth rates in the earlier stages and the contrast nowadays. Negative process of population growing has also been noted in Taiwan since 2020. The natural birth population rate was reduced. Taiwan will come in to the 「rather death」 era. That’s the era of death rate higher than the birth rate. The difference between the city and the rural area leading to the disbanding of big family system, the younger people have to leave their homes for the cities to make their independent living . Since the family structural was changed, would it be necessarily for the young family to render support to the elderly people? Or, just to let the elderly /old couple live alone ? Is the retirement funds suffice the need of the elderly people?
The study aims on the semi-structured interview of the qualitative research on the attitude of the Hakka ethic ,between the age 40 to 60, in supporting of their parents and how they rendered their support to them during the year of 2021 to 2022.
The conclusion of the study started on the target of their families’ stand point. As time goes by, to avoid any conflict, the rare young generations of the Hakka ethnic have to contribute their responsibilities equally towards their parents. According to the moral behaviour, female persons of the Hakka family are usually put more effort in supporting their parents; so that the status of males and females persons in their family are becoming equalise. The act and education of the parents, would influence their children from time to time. This is the powerful part of the spirit of the Hakka ethnic. Furthermore, most of the children of the Hakka ethnic are live with their parents. They usually rely on each other. So that they don’t need to render full economic support for their parents. The young ones worry about the medical care of their parents when they are getting older. At last, they alleged that frequent visit to their parents is the best relationship mode. As for the Hakka ethnic, the most important thing is the succession of their Hakka moral spirit . The parents’ education on the sense of moral spirit influences the establishment of their relationships, further communication and the attitude of their supporting.
