Few efforts have been made to explore two emerging demographic features, the extra low fertility of the Taiwanese population, and a rapid increase in cross-border marriages. The objective of this research is to provide comparative estimates of fertility outcomes of marriage immigrants from Mainland China, Southeast Asia, and other countries. Through exploring the 2003 Survey of Foreign and Mainland Chinese Spouses' Living Conditions, this study gives us a first glimpse of how prevalent cross-border marriages are in Taiwanese society. While the headlines tend to portray an image that only old veterans and minority rural men are likely to marry an immigrant, the findings indeed show that an increased number of Taiwanese men have adopted cross-border marriage as an alternative. The fertili...

[Brigitte]'s emotions are related to a cultural feature of American society and her native country; that is, there is a structural reality of linguistic differences between countries that causes Brigitte and all non-English mother tongue immigrants to have to struggle with language learning and cope with the frustrations that arise from this. But her emotions ultimately derive from the meaning she imputes to this cultural feature; that is, her emotions can be explained by the meaning that living in America versus living in Switzerland has for Brigitte. Speaking English all the time does not mean, for example, having an opportunity to perfect a language, but rather it means not being able to relax, and "livfing] on his terms." Similarly, her interpretation of how she speaks to people in ...

This paper analyzes Public-Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) data from the 2000 US Census to ascertain whether evidence exists that subcultural norms survive immigration transitions to affect the fertility of the two largest Chinese immigrant subgroups, Cantonese and Mandarins, in the United States. The results indicate that the Cantonese, who are believed to be more pronatalistic and have higher fertility than the Mandarins in China, continue to exhibit these tendencies in the United States. A significant portion of the fertility disparity between the two groups can be explained by differences in migration experiences, demographic characteristics and socioeconomic status. Higher Cantonese fertility, however, persists even when all diese factors are controlled, suggesting a lingering effect ...

The Iraqi modernization campaign was pursued from the 1960s until the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s when militarization became the primary concern for the central government, drastically curbing any attempts at modernizing the civil infrastructure of Iraq. With the invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, and the subsequent 13-year imposition of a ruthless regime of sanctions, the modernization process was brought to a complete halt. The collapse of the Iraqi socio-economic fabric under the sanctions regime, and the chaotic living conditions under the Anglo-American occupational forces (which followed the invasion in March 2003), contrast sharply with what the Iraqi people had enjoyed prior to the Gulf War in 1991, despite all the atrocities and the oppression of the Saddam Hussein regime. This ...
