The Chinese economy is undergoing dramatic changes and the world is
watching and changing along with it. The Chinese family is also
changing in many ways in response to the economic transformation
that is moving the world's most populous nation from an agrarian
economy to a global superpower. This is the first book in English
to describe and explain the social transformation of the Chinese
family from the perspective of Chinese researchers. Presenting a
comprehensive view of the Chinese family today and how it has
adapted during the process of modernization, it provides
description and analysis of the trajectory of changes in family
structures, functions, and relationships. It tracks how Chinese
marriages and families are becoming more diverse and face a great
deal of uncertainty as they evolve in different ways from Western
marriages and families. The book is also unique in its use of
national statistics and data from large-scale surveys to
systematically illustrate these radical and extraordinary changes
in family structure and dynamics over the past 30 years.
Demonstrating that the de-institutionalization of family values is
a slow process in the Chinese context, this book will be of
interest to students and scholars of Chinese Studies, Sociology,
Social Policy and Family Policy.
