摘要

本研究考察了文莱社会中年轻人对婚姻和家庭形成的态度。调查问卷被分发给一组年龄在17-31岁之间的大学生。调查结果显示,研究中的大多数年轻人希望在25-29岁的理想年龄范围内结婚,这一时期他们也希望有第一个孩子。然而,绝大多数受访者认为应该在大学毕业后结婚,更重要的是,在找到一份稳定的工作后。这不仅表明了与传统的文莱马来穆斯林文化叙事(在婚姻和家庭形成的时间方面)不同的一系列生命历程事件的理想化,而且还表明,鉴于毕业后获得工作(或配偶)的挑战,日益多样化的生命历程路径可能无法预测。因此,这项研究揭示了文莱人向成年过渡的情况,并提供了一窥初婚年龄增加、女性单身比例增加以及对小家庭的明显渴望背后的动机,这些都是当今文莱人口的特点。

Attitudes towards Family Formation Among Young Adults in Brunei Darussalam
This study examines young adults’ attitudes towards marriage and family formation in Bruneian society. Questionnaires were distributed to a group of undergraduate students aged 17-31. Findings show that the majority of young adults in the study expected to be married within an ideal age range of 25-29, a period in their lives when they also ideally want to have their first child. However, respondents overwhelmingly agree that marriage should take place after graduating from university, and more importantly, after finding a stable job. This signifies not only an idealisation of a sequence of life course events that diverges from the traditional Bruneian Malay Muslim cultural narrative(in terms of timing of marriage and family formation), but also suggests increasingly heterogeneous life course pathways that might not be as predictable, given the challenges in securing a job (or a spouse), after graduation. This study, thus, sheds light on the transition to adulthood among Bruneians, and offers a glimpse of the motivations behind increasing ages at first marriage, increasing proportions of female singlehood, and apparent desires for smaller families that characterise the Bruneian population today.
