Changing Patterns of Asian Family Values and Practices: Comparative Studies Based on Cross-National Datasets in Asia

Friday, 20 July 2018: 15:30-17:20
Location: 714A (MTCC SOUTH BUILDING)
RC06 Family Research (host committee)

Language: English

This session examines recent changes of family values and practices in Asian societies using major cross-national datasets. A recent development of such datasets in the Asian region enables researchers to discuss changing pattern of Asian family values and practices. The East Asian Social Survey 2016 (EASS 2016) is a comparative survey focusing on family issues in four East Asian societies, which has been conducted as the 10th anniversary of the EASS 2006. Using EASS 2006 and 2016, we are now in a good position to clarify stability and changes of Asian family values and practices for the last 10 years. In addition, more datasets are available that provide the results of surveys in several Asian societies such as the Comparative Asian Family Survey (CAFS) that includes replicated surveys of EASS 2006 in six societies in Southeast and South Asia as well as in Middle East. It is possible to examine whether there are signs of convergence in Asian societies. This session welcomes papers based on quantitative analyses using one or more of these cross-national datasets in the Asian region. Topics include gender role attitudes, patriarchal values, marital satisfaction, intergenerational support and family solidarity. Special focus is on 1) the impacts of recent demographic shifts, 2) the impacts of expanding women’s higher education and 3) the effects of cohort turnover in shaping family changes in Asian societies.
