Population-Based Sexual Behavior Surveys in China
Sexual Infidelity in China
Partner Violence and Sexual Jealousy in China
Using data from a nationally representative survey in China, this article examines the prevalence and risk factors for partner violence with a special focus on the important role of sexual jealousy. Among women aged 20 to 49, 7.2% reported that they were hit by their partners in the past year. Comparison shows that the Chinese prevalence is modestly below the overall median for other societies. Net of other factors, jealousy exacerbates hitting f…
Masturbation in Urban China
Unwanted Sexual Activity among Married Women in Urban China
This paper examines the prevalence, precursors, and consequences of unwanted marital sex activities in a national sample of 1,127 married urban Chinese women aged 20-64. During the lifetime of their current marriage, 32% reported ever experiencing unwanted spousal intercourse, with about one-fifth reporting that this unwanted intercourse ever involved force. Reports for the past year were 21% unwanted intercourse, 22% unwanted sex act(s), and 72%…
Sexual Practices and Sexual Satisfaction
Sexual Behavior in China
Dramatic political, economic, and social changes in China over the past several decades have been accompanied by much discussion in popular media and among academics of a fundamental transformation in Chinese sexual behavior. Several studies have examined current Chinese sexual behavior but have been limited to particular provinces or cities and have been based on non-random samples. The potential threat of a generalized HIV epidemic in China hig…
Tocquevillian Moments
Using a 1995 national survey of 2,870 Chinese private entrepreneurs, this article examines collaboration between private business and government in times of economic transition. Much as in the late 18th century situation in France as described by Tocqueville, special moments occur when a newly emerging business class offers monetary payments for chanty and for honorary offices. In exchange, the government, desperate for new sources of revenue, pr…
Sexual Harassment of Women in Urban China
Using data from the Chinese Health and Family Life survey, this study analyzed the prevalence of and risk factors for sexual harassment in China in the year 2000. It was the first study to use a general population sample to examine all types of harassment in an Asian country. The dataset was a stratified probability sample with 3,821 participants, and was nationally representative (apart from Hong Kong and Tibet) of China's adult population aged …
Surplus men, sex work, and the spread of HIV in China
While 70% of HIV positive individuals live in sub-Saharan Africa, it is widely believed that the future of the epidemic depends on the magnitude of HIV spread in India and China, the world's most populous countries. China's 1.3 billion people are in the midst of significant social transformation, which will impact future sexual disease transmission. Soon approximately 8.5 million 'surplus men', unmarried and disproportionately poor and migrant, w…
Intimate Partner Violence in China
CONTEXT: Intimate partner violence has been studied in many developed and developing countries. China remains one of the few large societies for which the prevalence and correlates of intimate partner violence are unknown. METHODS: Data from a nationally representative sample of women and men aged 20-64 with a spouse or other steady partner provide estimates of intimate partner violence in China. Binomial and multinomial logistic regression analy…
Population-Based Study of Chlamydial Infection in China
CONTEXT: Sexually transmitted diseases are increasing rapidly in China. Surveillance data imperfectly indicate current prevalence and risk factors. OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence of genital chlamydial and gonococcal infections and to describe patterns of infection by subgroup and behavioral patterns. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A national stratified probability sample of 3426 Chinese individuals (1738 women and 1688 men) aged 20 to…

Social Reaction to Reform in Urban China
In China, market reform did not increase popular desire for democracy. In fact, the massive urban demonstrations in 1989 were triggered mostly by the fear that reform was going too fast. Although Chinese urbanites enjoyed the newly available consumer goods, they were deeply divided and unable to identify the sources of the negative consequences of reform
Chinese labor relations in a changing work environment
The work environment in Chinese factories is a unique combination of elements in socialist central planning, traditional kinship ties, and market competition. These factors have varying consequences on employees’ job satisfaction, work commitment and workplace interest articulation. Market reform changed the social contract between the government and workers. It brought higher wages, but less security and more market whip. The changing social con…

Married Women's Employment in Rapidly Industrializing Societies
A variety of explanations have addressed the phenomenon of secular change in married women's employment in rapidly industrializing countries. These include theoretical frameworks that emphasize female labor supply, the conditions of labor demand, patriarchal values, the international division of labor, and the effects of exported industrialization. This article examines two societies (South Korea and Taiwan) that showed considerable similarity in…
Sons, Daughters, and Intergenerational Support in Taiwan
This study focuses on married children's financial support for their parents in Taiwan. It is often assumed that economic and social changes accompanying industrialization will drastically weaken parental power and thus reduce the support from adult children to parents. The data in this article, however, show that the vast majority of married children, both sons and daughters, provided net financial suppor for their parents during the previous ye…
Daughters, Education, and Family Budgets Taiwan Experiences
Growth in the education of the labor force is one of the most important determinants of economic growth, and the distribution by sex is a key determinant of gender inequality. In this paper, we examine how parents choose to invest in sons' versus daughters' education and the consequences of these choices for women's life chances. We explore this issue with retrospective data on the life cycle and family behavior of Taiwanese individuals who came …
Family Support Networks, Welfare, and Work among Young Mothers
Using 1984 data from a nationally representative sample of young black and white mothers, this research investigates kin networks, kin network support, and the consequences of this support for women's work. Most young mothers have access to nearby kin, and it is these kin who most often provide child care and income support. Young black mothers more often live near kin and receive child-care assistance from kin. When racial differences in marital…

Household Complexity in Nineteenth Century France
The study of family change during industrialization has been hindered by the lack of adequate historical data. This paper attempts to overcome this obstacle by further refining Coale-Burch measures that can be used with existing census data. It shows the validity of these measures for France, uses them to analyze the effects of land holding, agriculture, illiteracy, and dispersed settlement on household complexity, and then analyzes the effects o…

Masturbation in Urban China
Socialism and the Chinese Peasant Family
Though there have been in China since 1949 occasional deviations in the policy regarding family life, some ideals enunciated at the start of the revolutionary regime have remained constant. The dominant policy has been that the family should be retained and its strengths used. However, family commitments should not interfere with commitments to the state or the collective, and within the family feudal customs should be eliminated. The parents' st…
Social Structure of World Regions
The sociological study of Mainland China since 1949 confronts a number of obstacles, but at the same time the nature of the society and the distinctiveness of its program for social change may hold valuable lessons for scholars studying a number of important sociological problems. The number of sociologists actively engaged in the study of Maoist China is small and society is vast, relatively inaccessible, less than a generation old, and still in…

Factions in Chinese Military Politics
In Chinese Studies, three themes have acquired new emphasis since the Cultural Revolution: first, the view that China is not a simple monolithic state but one with diversified interest groups and potential internal conflict. Second, the influence of the military throughout society and the extent to which its particular interests and internal conflicts shape the nature of government and society. Third, the fact that bureaucratism, though attacked …

Village and Family in Contemporary China
After 1949 the Chinese Communists carried out land reform, the collectivization of agriculture, and the formation of people's communes. The new economic and political organizations that emerged have made peasant life more comfortable and secure, but many economic and status differentials and traditional customs remain resistant to change. Focusing on rural Kwangtung province, William L. Parish and Martin King Whyte examine the rural work-incentiv…
