The Experiences of Participating in the Assets-based Program and Its Impact on Family Functions-The Case of Youth Capacity Building Program,Taipei City Government.

[[abstract]]美國學者Michael Sharraden提出「資產累積福利理論」（assets-based welfare theory），主張協助低收入家戶應提供具有儲蓄性、投資性與動態性的資產累積方案，以協助整合低收入家戶回歸主流社會成為具有生產力的公民，這樣的理念有別於傳統社會救助制度過份倚重「收入維持」以解決貧窮問題的策略。而研究者思考資產累積方案除了提升貧窮家戶人力資本和增加社會競爭力，以避免貧窮循環的產生外，是否也會對家庭功能產生影響？因此本研究乃以「資產累積方案參與經驗對家庭功能影響」為研究主題，施測對象為臺北市青蘋果發展帳戶專案的青年，透過自編問卷來進行問卷的調查，經過資料分析與整理，有下列三點研究發現： 一、 不同「背景資料」的青年，其「家庭支持和配合」之差異未達統計顯著性；青年不會因為其本身和家庭的狀態或條件而影響了家庭對青年的關心和協助，也不會影響了家庭在青年參與專案期間所能給予的配合。 二、 青年的「參與態度」與「家庭功能」間存在顯著關聯；自願參與專案的青年較非自願參與的專年，其家庭功能較佳，且家庭更具凝聚力和彈性，在溝通上也更順暢。 三、 青年「家庭支持和配合」與「家庭功能」兩者存在顯著正向關聯；青年因為專案的參與，家庭間的互助合作有助於家庭功能的提升，同時在家庭凝聚力、彈性和溝通部分也都能有正向的助益。 根據上述研究結果，本研究提出下列三點建議： 一、 可將方案服務對象從個人擴及至家庭；在方案內容的設計上能將親子互動或家庭關係等元素納入，以增加家人間共同協力合作的機會。 二、 擴大相關方案之實施對象；有意願參與脫貧方案的不同階層對象都能有報名參加的機會，鼓勵大眾能長期的資產累積。 三、 強化媒體的行銷策略；透過暢通的訊息傳遞和強化，進而提高民眾捐款的意願，透過眾人的力量來克服經費的問題。[[abstract]]This research is based on the experiences of participating in the youth capacity building program (Taipei City Government) Assets-based Program, and analyzing program impact on family functions. After data analysis and sorting, there are three findings: 1. No matter what the state or condition of their family, the youth always get care and support from family. 2. There is significant correlation between “participation attitudes” and “family functions”. Youth who participates in the program voluntarily, compared to the non- voluntary, their family functions are better, the family are more cohesive and flexible, and their communication is smoother as well. 3. There is significant positive correlation between “family support and cooperation” and “family functions”. Mutual assistance and cooperation between the family members will contribute to the enhancement of family functions, family cohesion, flexibility, and communication can have a positive benefits. Based on the findings, the research proposes three suggestions: 1. The assets-based program target can be extended to family functions and cooperation. 2. The target of relevant programs can be expanded to who has willingness participate in, that can encourage the public to accumulate the long-term asset. 3. The media marketing strategies can be strengthened to increase the willing of the public's contributions, and overcome the issue of funding.[[note]]碩
