This book was released on 1983-06-30 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gail Kelly and Carolyn Elliott have assembled the latest and best available scholarship from a range of disciplines to illuminate the determinants, nature, and outcomes of women's education in third World nations. This study focuses on the undereducation of women in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, delving into its causes, changes in female education patterns and the significance of these changes to societies and to women's lives. Articles in this volume lay the foundation for further research by examining women's schooling from the novel perspective that the social and economic outcomes of women's education are shaped by gender-sex systems that subordinate women to men.
Download or read book Development and Demographic Change in Taiwan written by Roger Mark Selya and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes and analyzes the demographic changes that took place in Taiwan between 1945 and 1995. It uses an interdisciplinary methodology so that different approaches to demographic change can be compared and contrasted. It attempts to evaluate Taiwan's experience so that lessons for the Third World can be extracted. The content and presentation of the material are deliberately designed to replicate the 1954 work of Barclay, Demographic Change and Colonial Development in Taiwan. As such the book seeks to provide the reasons that economic development without demographic change took place under the Japanese while development with demographic change took place under the Chinese. The volume is richly illustrated with some 82 original maps and graphs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experimental family planning program begun in 1963 in Taichung, the provincial capital of Taiwan, was the largest intensive program of its kind ever to be carried out for a sizable concentrated population. Its use of systematic observation and measurements was also unique. In evaluating the program and the data gathered, the authors seek to establish the extent to which the decline in Taiwan's fertility level resulted from the program rather than from the changes already underway in the society at that time. Finally, two vital questions occupy them: What has been learned in Taiwan, and how much of this can be applied to other developing countries with rapid population growth? Originally published in 1969. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Book excerpt: Women's education has been increasing at a faster pace than men's education over the past decades around the world. Especially, female's enrollment rate at the tertiary level has been growing much more rapidly than male's. The driving forces of the number of female college enrollments encompass the market and non-market net returns to college education. In this thesis, I document the demand-side and supply-side forces affecting more women attending college education. Taiwan experienced rapid economic growth and has been considered a successful model for developing country. During a ten year period, there has been a large increase in the number of universities accompanied by sharply increased female's enrollments in university in that country.^Utilizing the context of Taiwan, I offer complimentary motivating forces previous literature has ignored: greater expansion of higher education which lowers the cost of attending college from supply side of college education and earnings premiums between male and female, marriage benefits and the changes in employment composition for women, children's human capital from demand side of college education. Those forces appear to be the reasons for more females attending college than males. In addition, one of the market returns, the female labor force participation grows a slower pace over time.^Hence, I perform two empirical studies pertaining to market and non-market return to women's education: (1) how large is the effect of women's education on market return, their own labor force participation? And (2) which parent has greater impact on non-market return, child quality? I utilize the huge expansion of educational opportunities in Taiwan and thus apply IV method to account for the endogeneity of educational attainment. I have discovered that women's education has no strong effect on the probability of a woman's involvement in the labor market. To further explore the reason, I present the implication of women's education for fertility based on the belief of a trade-off between child quality and quantity. The results show that parental education is an important factor in reducing the fertility rate. In addition, mother's schooling is a stronger determinant than a father's schooling. The result also implies that women's education has greater weight on child quality.^Not only the forces from supply side of college education, but those from demand side are also important and sufficient in explaining the remarkable boom in higher education which has been concentrated on women. The context of Taiwan provides different experience from United States because Taiwan can represent the earlier stage of developed economy.

This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on families and their changes in Taiwan and China. Traditional notions of what constitutes a family have been changing in China, Taiwan and other Asian countries. The chapters in this book provide interesting methodological and substantive contributions to the discourse on family and social change in Chinese societies. They also underscore the implications of the various social changes in Chinese families. Written by Chinese and Western scholars, they provide an unprecedented overview of what is known about the effects of social change on Chinese families. One might think that defining a “family” is an easy task because the family is so significant to society and is universal. The family is the first place we learn culture, norms, values, and gender roles. Families exist in all societies throughout the world; but their constitution differs. In the past several decades there have been many changes in the family in Taiwan and China. For instance, whereas in the West, we use a bilineal system of descent in which descent is traced through both the mother’s side and the father’s side of the family, in many parts of China, descent is patrilineal, although this is changing, and China and Taiwan are starting to assume a family constitution similar to that in the West. This and other issues are discussed in great detail in this book. Indeed it is the very nature of the differences that motivated the writing of this book on changing families in Taiwan and China. The chapters in Part I: The Family in Taiwan and China focus on the basic family issues in Taiwan and China that provide the groundwork for many of the chapters that follow. Chapter 1 is about the distribution of resources in the family in Taiwan. Chapter 2 focuses on filial piety and the autonomous development of adolescents in the Taiwanese family, and Chapter 3 explores the important issue of family poverty in Taiwan. Chapter 4 moves away from Taiwan and looks at several issues of family growth and change in Hong Kong, noting the interesting similarities and differences between Hong Kong and China. Part II: Issues of Marriage, the Family and Fertility in Taiwan and China focuses specifically on marriage, family and fertility. In Chapter 5 the authors discuss the relationships between marital status, socioeconomic status and the subjective well-being among women in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Chapter 6 describes patterns of sexual activity in China and the United States. Chapter 7 considers gender imbalances in Taiwan and their impact on the marriage market. Chapter 8 also focuses on Taiwan and examines the effects of mothers’ attitudes on daughters’ interaction with their mothers-in-law. Chapter 9 compares female and male fertility trends and changes in Taiwan. Part III: Children and the Family in East Asia and in Western Countries consists of comparative studies of the family and children. Chapter 10 examines the dynamics of grandparents caring for children in China. Chapter 11 explores family values and parent-child interaction in Taiwan. Chapter 12 examines the significant amount of diversity among families in contemporary Taiwan. Chapter 13 describes adolescent development in Taiwan. Chapter 14 examines the impact of son preference on fertility in China, South Korea and the United States. And Chapter 15 explores the determinants of intergenerational support in Taiwan. The final chapter in our book, the only chapter in Part IV: The Family and the Future in Taiwan, examines the future of the family in Taiwan with respect especially to the marriage market and aged dependency.
