9780824827755: Marriage, Work, and Family Life in Comparative Perspective: Japan, South Korea, and the United States

Synopsis

This volume examines family change in Korea, Japan, and the United States, allowing us to contrast the collective emphasis of a Confucian social heritage with the individualism of the West. An impressive group of demographers and family sociologists considers such questions as: How do family patterns vary within countries and across societies? How essential are marriage and parenthood? How does female employment vary based on family factors and do these factors affect employment across societies?
