Research on the family has expanded considerably across Asia but
studies tend to be fragmented, focusing on narrow issues within
limited areas (cities, towns, small communities) and may not be
accessible to international readers. These limitations make it
difficult for researchers, students, policy makers, and
practitioners to obtain the information they need. The Routledge
Handbook of Families in Asia fills that gap by providing a current
and comprehensive analysis of Asian families by a wide range of
experts in a single publication. The thirty-two chapters of this
comparative and multi-disciplinary volume are organized into nine
major themes: conceptual approaches, methodological issues, family
life in the context of culture, family relationships across the
family life cycle, issues of work and income, stress and conflict,
family diversity, family policy and laws, and environmental setting
of homes. Each chapter examines family life across Asian countries,
studying cultural similarities and differences and exploring how
families are changing and what trends are likely to develop in the
future. To provide a fruitful learning experience for the reader,
each chapter offers examples, relevant data, and a comprehensive
list of references. Offering a complete interdisciplinary overview
of families in Asia, the Handbook will be of interest to students,
academics, policy makers and practitioners across the disciplines
of Asian Studies, Sociology, Demography, Social Work, Law, Social
Policy, Anthropology, Geography, Public Health and Architecture.
