Staying connected with ICT tools
Young people have been perceived as a group that benefits most directly from China’s education aspirations and modernization campaign. Given their high social and spatial mobility related to education and career pursuits, it is intriguing but also difficult to follow them in panel studies. This methodology paper summarizes how the Panel Study of Nanjing High School Graduates explores different ways to track youth respondents with the aid of infor…
Transition to higher education in contemporary China
China has undergone an expansion of higher education in the 1990s. The university enrollment rate among high school graduates increased from 27.3% in 1990 to 87.6% in 2013. At the same time, Chinese universities are stratified into key universities and non-key universities, which differ significantly in resource input and prestige. Chinese parents are found to play an increasingly active role in preparing their children for the competition to get…
The changing relationship of women with their natal families
The present article is based on an extensive literature review of the relationship between married daughters and their birth parents in contemporary China. The 1950 Marriage Law and subsequent legislation, as well as the one-child policy, have changed deep-rooted attitudes towards daughters both within the family and in the society. Economic reform, urbanization, and migration have also bolstered the social status and economic independence of wom…
Who Takes Care of My Left-Behind Children? Migrant Mothers and Caregivers in Transnational Child Care
Our study investigates an understudied issue: care sharing and collaboration between migrant mothers and different caregivers of left-behind children in transnational childrearing. Using qualitative data obtained from 51 Filipina domestic workers in Hong Kong, our study compares the problems and strategies of migrant mothers working with their left-behind husbands with those of migrant mothers working with female kin, especially grandmothers. It …
Family, School, and Access to Social Capital Among High School Students in Urban Nanjing
Unequal access to bridging social capital is found to be an important factor of social inequality. School is a social organization where individuals can make social connections and through whom, can accumulate social capital. Existing research on the relationship between school and social capital has mainly focused on the bonding function of social capital and its impact on academic outcomes. Access to bridging social capital through school peers…
Diversified Transnational Mothering via Telecommunication
Recent research argues that the use of information and communication technology (ICT) has created a new channel through which transnational mothers can fulfill their maternal duties from afar. However, the literature pays little attention to the diversity of mothering practices via telecommunication. To fill this gap, our qualitative research on Filipina domestic workers in Hong Kong elaborates on the complexity and diversity of transnational mot…
The Evolving Role of Filial Piety in Eldercare in Hong Kong
Gender and intimate caregiving for the elderly in Hong Kong
Postponement or Abandonment of Marriage? Evidence from Hong Kong
This paper examines whether the rise in the age at first marriage among women observed across many countries in the post-war era reflects postponement or abandonment of marriage. On both theoretical and empirical grounds, we reject the oft-cited Economic Independence hypothesis, which argues that rising educational attainment and employment among women have weakened the rationale for marriage, leading more women to forego marriage. Instead, using…
