  • Considering the Key Household Member: Migration as a Household Head's Livelihood Choice and Income Growth Trajectory in Rural China

    Open Access•Yiqing Gan, Y Tong•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2026•References: 14

    The debate over whether migration serves as a viable livelihood strategy for enhancing rural household economic development has persisted for decades. Existing research is limited by three key shortcomings: neglecting the roles of key household members, oversimplifying the dichotomy between migrants and nonmigrants, and adopting a static view of household income without considering its growth trajectory. This study addresses these gaps by employi…

  • Rethinking Gender Inequality in China's Rural‐to‐Urban Migration: An Intersectionality Approach

    Open Access•Y Tong, Ruolin Chen et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology Compass•2025

    This review article examines the intersection of rural‐to‐urban migration and gender inequality in China, situating these issues within institutional and socio‐cultural contexts. While internal migration has become increasingly feminized since migration policy relaxaion from the 1980s, migrant women face disproportionate challenges stemming from the hukou system, labor market segmentation and patriarchal norms. There are relatively few studies th…

  • The rise and fall of exclusion: A longitudinal study of US attitudes toward immigration

    Open Access•Xiang Wang, Y Tong et al.•ARTICLE•International Political Science…•2025•References: 60

    How have US immigration attitudes evolved over time? This study investigates the insufficiently addressed temporal dynamics of anti-immigration attitudes through dual lenses of economic and social exclusion. Utilizing six waves of the World Values Survey data (1990–2017) and an age-period-cohort framework, it explores how age, historical context and cohorts shape public attitudes toward immigration. Economic exclusion follows a curvilinear age pa…

  • Policy-Induced Fertility Suppression and Marital Satisfaction: Evidence From a Natural Experiment in China

    Open Access•Y Tong, Bingdao Zheng•ARTICLE•Demography•2024•References: 58

    Having children is widely regarded as one of the most important benefits and purposes of marriage, particularly in societies that uphold traditional family values. Consequently, the suppression of fertility could have far-reaching implications for marital life that transcend childbearing itself. Previous studies have examined the impact of health-induced fertility suppression, but a gap remains in understanding how policy-induced fertility restri…

  • Whose Preference Matters More? Couple's Fertility Preferences and Realization in the Context of China's Two-Child Policy

    Open Access•Y Tong, Yiqing Gan et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Issues•2024•Cited by: 3•References: 55

    The universal two-child policy in China did not lead to a significant increase in fertility, which results in many public debates. In this study, we examine to what extent a couple's desires for more children are associated with their behavior for having a second child, and whether there is a gender power imbalance in the realization process. Using the China Family Panel Studies data in 2014 and 2018, the findings suggest that the overall rate of…

  • Gender Construction in the Chinese Fandom of Korean Pop Culture: A Case Study of BTS and BLACKPINK Fans

    This research delves into the influence exerted by BTS and BLACKPINK, prominent K-pop idol groups, on Chinese K-pop fans’ perceptions of gender, gender equality, and inclusivity. Employing data collected through a comprehensive survey distributed among a diverse cohort of fans (35 young Chinese K- pop fans), the study examines the impact of these musical phenomena’s image and temperament on their Chinese followers’ conceptualization of gender con…

  • Philippine hedging strategy from the perspective of neoclassical realism

    As the main diplomatic strategy of the Philippines towards China, the hedging strategy has been practiced for a long time. In recent years, with the acceleration of Sino-American Geopolitical Competition, as well as the transfer of power in the Asia Pacific region, Southeast Asian countries are facing new strategic decision-making pressure. From the perspective of neoclassical realism, systemic pressure is transmitted through internal factors wit…

  • The Expanding Search for Work: The Gender Gap in Livelihood Choices among the Rural Chinese, from 1989 to 2015☆

    Open Access•Y Tong, Yiqing Gan•ARTICLE•Rural Sociology•2023•Cited by: 5•References: 17

    Similar to the rest of developing countries around the world, rural China has experienced rapid growth in the diversification and space expansion of their livelihood choices. However, little is known about the gender gap in the process of expanding. In this study, using the China Health and Nutrition Survey data from 1989 to 2015 and multilevel age, period, and cohort models, we examine the gender gap in livelihood choices of farming, local nonfa…

  • Channeling Good Images but Not Substantive Blessings? Education and Social Contact on Pro-Migrant Sentiments in an Internal Migration Setting

    Open Access•Y Tong, Tianzhu Nie et al.•ARTICLE•Social Forces•2022

    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…

  • Well‐being of migrants and immigrants: Perspectives in Asia and from Asians in North America

    Open Access•Y Tong, Eric Fong•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Issues•2022•References: 34

    Immigrant and migrant well‐being have been widely studied, but the knowledge gained from immigrant adaptation and well‐being has mostly focused on findings from more developed countries, which may diverge from the situation in Asia. East‐Asian countries have strong roots in Confucian culture, which celebrates cultural homogeneity, and societies are thus conservative when it comes to welcoming immigrants. Southeast Asian countries are major migran…

  • A female advantage? Gender patterning of psychological well‐being among migrants and returnees in China

    Open Access•L Jin, Xiaohang Zhao et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Issues•2022•Cited by: 3•References: 39

    During recent decades, China has experienced large‐scale rural‐to‐urban migration and a substantial proportion of the migrant population are women. Previous research has suggested that men and women may experience different gains and losses during the migration process and women may derive more psychological benefits than men. Moreover, the female advantage may concentrate in the married. Little quantitative research has systematically assessed t…

    Open Access•Y Tong, D Chen et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Issues•2022•Cited by: 5•References: 49

    We examined mainland Chinese immigrants’ economic integration by looking at the earnings gap between locals and immigrants (both permanent and newly arrived) during and after the period of the Hong Kong handover from 1991 to 2016. During this period, Hong Kong experienced a further process of deindustrialization and an increased connection with mainland China. Using 5% Hong Kong population census/by‐census data (1991‐2016), we found that although…

    Open Access•Y Tong, Wenyang Su et al.•ARTICLE•Chinese Journal of Sociology•2018•Cited by: 7•References: 12

    Previous studies of Hong Kong immigrants have largely focused on those Chinese from the mainland, and less attention has been paid to non-Chinese immigrants. As exceptions to this, a few studies have focused on the channels of non-Chinese immigrants to Hong Kong, but less research has examined their labor market outcomes. This is partly because theories about immigrants in Asia’s global city are underdeveloped, and the traditional labor market as…

  • Straddling Two Geographic Regions: The Impact of Place of Origin and Destination on Return Migration Intentions in China

    Open Access•Martin Piotrowski, Y Tong•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2012•Cited by: 14•References: 14

    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…

  • Acculturation, Gender Disparity, and the Sexual Behavior of Asian American Youth

    Y Tong•ARTICLE•The Journal of Sex Research•2012•Cited by: 6•References: 10

    Asian American youth are less likely to be sexually active than adolescents from other ethnic groups; however, with acculturation, they may adopt the more liberal sexual norms of American society. Moreover, owing to differing parental expectations for sons and daughters about sexuality, gender disparity might exist in the adoption of American sexual norms. This article used the proportional hazards model and the generalized estimating equations P…

Using the China Family Panel Studies data in 2014 and 2018, the findings suggest that the overall rate of…
