Spatially Contingent Contact: How Geographical Distance and Borders Shape Grandparent‐Grandchild Communication in Poland
The geographies of modern families are increasingly stretched by migration and mobility, raising crucial questions for population geography about the maintenance of intergenerational bonds. This study investigates the frequency of social contact between Polish grandparents and their grandchildren (both minor and adult), explicitly analyzing how these dynamics are contingent upon spatial context. Drawing on a 2019–2020 survey of grandparents ( N =…

Attitudes Towards Non-Marital Family Forms Among Polish Immigrants in the Netherlands
Understanding the alignment of Eastern European immigrants' attitudes with those of their host societies in Western Europe is critical for exploring cultural convergence and divergence, particularly in the context of mass migration and freedom of movement within the European Union (EU). This study examines the extent to which Polish migrants' attitudes towards non-marital family forms − cohabitation, divorce, and single motherhood − align with th…
Understanding Commuting Mode Choices in Bangkok: The Role of Sociodemographics and Urban Structure in Shaping Transportation Preferences
This study investigates commuting patterns in Bangkok between 2015 and 2023 and examines the influence of demographic, socioeconomic, and spatial factors on commuting mode choices. The microdata from the 2015 and 2023 Migration Survey from the Thailand National Statistical Office were used to identify significant shifts in age distribution, educational attainment, and employment status among commuters. The findings reveal a growing preference for…
Réseau social et évolutions de la famille au Japon: Un Nouvel Examen
En utilisant les données des enquêtes nationales de 2000 et 2009 sur les conditions familiales et économiques au Japon, cet article examine la relation entre le fait de connaître une personne adoptant des comportements familiaux « innovants » - tels que la cohabitation, les rapports sexuels hors mariage ou le recours à des modes de garde formels des enfants par les mères qui travaillent - et les attitudes envers de tels comportements. Les recherc…
Contagious Education
The use of data to govern education is increasingly supported by the use of knowledge-based technologies, including algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI), and tracking technologies. Rather than accepting these technologies as possibilities to improve, reform, or more efficiently practice education, this intra-view discusses how these technologies portend possibilities to escape education. The intra-view revolves around Luciana Parisi’s idea of…
Channeling Good Images but Not Substantive Blessings? Education and Social Contact on Pro-Migrant Sentiments in an Internal Migration Setting
Education and intergroup contact are two of the most influential channels for reducing host society members’ hostility toward immigrants, but recent studies suggest that these two channels are only able to shift their impressions. Yet, a shift in impression does not necessarily translate into endorsement of integration policies, resulting in a “principle-policy paradox” in multiracial societies. Little is known about whether this paradox holds in…
Marriage counterfactuals in Japan: Variation by gender, marital status, and time
This paper takes a unique perspective on the debate surrounding the deinstitutionalization of marriage. Rather than examining how diversification of family behaviors (external context) relates to marriage, it considers how perceptions of marriage dimension
An atmosphere, an air, a life: ’ Deleuze, elemental media, and more-than-human environmental subjectification and education
Subjectification in environmental movement education comprises an influx of more-than-human ‘others,’ including the classical elements: air, water, earth, fire. In this conceptual article, I consider what environmental movement education research, which includes inquiring into processes of political subjectification, might entail, when thinking with the elements. As part of this focus, I identify and propose thinking alongside an ‘elemental Deleu…
Attitudes towards Women's Paid Labor and Children in East Asia: A Cross-National Analysis
Using data from the 2012 International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) fourth module on family and changing gender roles, the authors explore cross-national differences in the prevalence of non-traditional attitudes towards women's paid labor and children's interference in parents' lives in China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. Their results show that variation in attitude configurations and their determinants differ across each setting in ways t…
Migration, Livelihood Strategies, and Agricultural Outcomes: A Gender Study in Rural China
In this study we examine whether the gender composition of migrants from rural households affects household economic strategies and agricultural productivity, which is the fundamental economic activity for rural Chinese. Using data from the 2010 and 2012 Chinese Family Panel Studies, this study treats households as the unit of analysis. Our results show that households with migrants are less likely to engage in agricultural activities or operate …
Gender Role Attitudes: An Examination of Cohort Effects in Japan
ObjectiveThis study examines cohort differences in attitudes toward women's roles within marriage in Japan.BackgroundJapan has undergone dramatic sociocultural shifts in the 20th century that have shaped childhood experiences differently by cohort. Sociodemographic perspectives predict cohort effects, which suggest the lasting impact of experiences during the formative years on attitudes.MethodThis study employs a hierarchical age-period-cohort a…
Non-standard work and fertility: A comparison of the US and Japan
Using General Social Survey data from Japan and the US (N = 5101), we examine the effect of non-standard or non-regular work status on men’s fertility. We employ a cross-national comparative approach to explore how this relationship differs both within and across the two countries. Consistent with features of the Japanese context which make it challenging for non-regular workers to realise the breadwinner role we find a negative effect of non-sta…
Data Desire in the Anthropocene
Data desire flows through protest in the Anthropocene. Citizen science, participation in online discussion forums, documentary film production, protest selfies, glacier recession GPS photography, poster making, etc., are just some of the everyday data proliferation efforts comprising resistance to environmental degradation and destruction. These practices - visualisation, datafication, writing, sign making, archiving geological memory, etc., are,…
Authentic’ folds: Environmental audiences, activists and subjectification in hypocrisy micropolitics
This paper examines how the trope of authenticity is communicated and enacted in environmental movements. The paper employs Deleuze’s concept of le pli, or the fold, and Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of faciality to argue that political subjects in the environmental movement emerge through folding the preoccupation with authenticity that they observe in news media, oil pipeline advertising and environmental activists’ campaigns, as a relationshi…
The Transition to First Marriage in China, 1966–2008: An Examination of Gender Differences in Education and Hukou Status
Education and fertility decline in China during transitional times: A cohort approach
Liquid subjects: News media and public political pedagogy
The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between news media and political education within consumer society. We argue that political education today needs to be understood as part of consumerism and media culture, in which individuals selectively expose themselves to and scrutinize various media representations not only of political issues, but also of political subjectivity and action. Individuals learn about how they might becom…
The Association Between Parental Migration and Childhood Illness in Rural China
Contingent Work Rising: Implications for the Timing of Marriage in Japan
Employment has become increasingly precarious in developed countries, meaning that, for many young adults, jobs provide neither benefits nor security, more work is part time, and employers are increasingly hiring workers from temporary help agencies and contract companies rather than as employees of their own company. These changes in employment relations have profound effects on gender roles and on family transitions of young adults, especially …
Rhetoric of Oil in Canadian News: Framed for Indigenous Care
This article critically examines news representation of oil and indigenous “voice” as a tactic of consensual politics. It suggests that by leveraging the politics of recognition to frame the “oil pipeline debates” as an issue fit primarily for indigenous care, news media position Aboriginality as the primary rhetoric of sustainability. Leveraging Nancy Fraser’s concept of scales of justice and Jacques Rancière’s intellectual emancipation, the art…
Farming Systems and Rural Out-Migration in Nang Rong, Thailand, and Chitwan Valley, Nepal
Using data from two postfrontier rural settings, Nang Rong, Thailand (N = 2,538), and Chitwan Valley, Nepal (N = 876), this article examines agricultural push factors determining the out-migration of young people age 15 to 19. We focus on different dimensions of migration, including distance and duration. Our study examines a wide array of agricultural determinants, each with its own potential effect on migration. These determinants include land …
Straddling Two Geographic Regions: The Impact of Place of Origin and Destination on Return Migration Intentions in China
Using data from a destination sample of labour migrants ( N = 1,100) from China's Pearl River Delta, we develop and empirically evaluate a model of return migration intentions over multiple time horizons. We argue that return migration involves a complex decision‐making process whereby migrants, who are situated in a trans‐region social space spanning migration origin and destination areas, are influenced by economic and non‐economic factors in t…

Migrant remittances and the web of family obligations: Ongoing support among spatially extended kin in North-east Thailand, 1984-94
Exchanges of money, goods, and assistance among family/kin members are influenced by the intertwined lives of individuals and their family/kin. As people pass through the young adulthood years, acquiring obligations as spouses and parents, and migrating in search of economic opportunities, tensions can arise over existing obligations. Using rich longitudinal data from Northeast Thailand, we examined the role of family networks (origin and destina…

Mass Media and Rural Out‐Migration in the Context of Social Change: Evidence from Nepal
This work examines the influence of mass media on rural out-migration using historical and contemporary data from a setting experiencing massive social and economic development in the last half-century. Data come from the Chitwan Valley Family Study, an ongoing study of an agrarian region in rural Nepal. Media are hypothesized to affect migration by inducing attitudinal and behavioral changes similar to those of other determinants of migration. A…

Migrant Remittances and Skipped Generation Households: Investigating the Exchange Motive Using Evidence from Nang Rong, Thailand
Using data from the Nang Rong projects social survey ( N=6,801 households) and qualitative data from semi-structured interviews, I examine the relationship between migrant remittances and the skipped generation household structure. I find that the skipped generation household is a significant determinant of in-kind remittances and the amount of remittances received by the household. Surprisingly, although qualitative data suggest that grandparent…

Measuring housing quality in the absence of a monetized real estate market
Measuring housing quality or value or both has been a weak component of demographic and development research in less developed countries that lack an active real estate (housing) market. We describe a new method based on a standardized subjective rating process. It is designed to be used in settings that do not have an active, monetized housing market. The method is applied in an ongoing longitudinal study in north-east Thailand and could be stra…

Using data from the Nang Rong Projects social survey (N = 4,989), this work examines the effect of migrant remittances on household splits in an agrarian district of Thailand, a developing country experiencing tremendous economic, demographic, and social transformations. Results show that remittances sent from migrants (especially female migrants) to their origin households affect changes in household affiliation. Findings are consistent with a h…
