An Introductory Overview
Feminized Migration, Community Activism and Grassroots Transnationalization in Japan
Japan's 1990 revised immigration law established a renewable ‘long-term resident’ visa category for non-citizens with Japanese ancestry ( Nikkeijin) and their dependents. By the mid-1990s, this had resulted in an influx of more than 200,000 Nikkeijin workers, most of them from Brazil, of whom more than 40 percent were female. In the absence of governmental policy to incorporate immigrants into the nation's political and legal structure, Brazilian…

As a result, the present generation has been socializ…

Striking heterogeneity in the individual and collective resources of these groups, together with differences in labour market opportunities and histo…

Modernity and Fertility Preference in Taiwan
Data from interviews with 973 Taiwan women between the ages of 15 and 44 having at least one child and living with husbands are used to study the effects of modernity and social status on fertility preferences. The modernity attitude contributes significantly to the explanation of fertility preferences independent of social status variables. Social status variables also contribute directly to the explanation of fertility preferences. But there is…
