Les politiques pronatalistes à Taïwan et en Corée du Sud
À Taïwan et en Corée du Sud, la fécondité a fortement baissé et de nombreux changements familiaux ont eu lieu au cours des cinquante dernières années. Alors que les indices conjoncturels de fécondité sont descendus sous le seuil de remplacement au début des années 1980, les gouvernements n’ont réagi qu’au début des années 2000. Ainsi, dans les deux pays, malgré l’intensification des investissements dans les politiques familiales au cours de la de…
An East–West dichotomy? Shifting marriage age patterns in Taiwan and Sweden over two centuries
Age at marriage varies greatly over time and between places. This study examines changes in age differences between spouses, as well as age at marriage, over 200 years in Taiwan and Sweden. Changes across vastly different socioeconomic and demographic contexts are explored in these two different kinship and marriage systems. Five different data sources are used to create micro-level data on spousal age differences for Swedish marriages formed bet…
Demographic change and increasing late singlehood in East Asia, 2010-2050
Marriage is a central institution for social reproduction in East Asia. Until the 1970s and 1980s, marriage across much of East Asia was early and universal. In recent decades, though, this pattern has begun shifting to one of later and less marriage
Feminising the workforce in ageing East Asia? The potential of skilled female labour in four advanced economies
The Future Labor Force of an Aging Taiwan
Longer Exposure to Obesity, Slimmer Chance of College? Body Weight Trajectories, Non-Cognitive Skills, and College Completion
The NLSY97 data were used to explore the patterns of developmental trajectories of body weight in adolescence and how they affected the likelihood of college completion in young adulthood among 2,275 youths aged 13 and 14 in Wave 1. A strong weight trajectory gradient was found for rates of college completion. The study further explored the role of non-cognitive traits in the association between weight trajectories and college attainment. Non-cog…
Going it alone and adrift
More education, fewer divorces? Shifting education differentials of divorce in Taiwan from 1975 to 2010
While social gradient in divorce has been explored in many Western societies, this issue has received less attention in Asia
Changing Attitudes Toward Homosexuality in Taiwan, 1995-2012
Most of what we know about attitudes toward homosexuality comes from research focused on Europe and the Americas. Much less is known about attitudinal change in East Asia, even though some nations have begun to propose liberal laws and policies regarding homosexuality. Focusing on Taiwan, a more liberal and economically developed society, this study examines key characteristics associated with changes in attitudes about homosexuality. Data from t…
Explaining attitudes about homosexuality in Confucian and non-Confucian nations
Changing partner choice and marriage propensities by education in post-industrial Taiwan, 2000-2010
Very little is known about recent marriage differentials by education in times of marriage decline and economic restructuring in East Asia
Adolescent Precursors of Early Union Formation Among Asian American and White Young Adults
Using a framework that emphasizes independent versus interdependent self-construals, this study investigates the relatively low rates of early marriage and cohabitation among Asian Americans compared with Whites. Data from Waves 1 and 3 of Add Health are used to test five hypotheses that focus on family value socialization and other precursors measured in adolescence. Analyses of early marriage indicate that the Asian-White difference is driven p…
