This paper examines intergenerational and gender relations in the Chinese family system by comparing the division of household labor in nuclear and extended family households. Indepth interview data with thirty-seven new Taiwanese immigrants in Canada show that, in their household practices in Taiwan, the presence of the older generation intensifies the gendered division of labor between spouses, even in matrilocal residences. Husbands do not participate in housework in either patrilocal or matrilocal households. However, shared housework between couples is observed among less well-to-do nuclear families. In general, the dominance of traditional gender norms prevails, especially under extended family living arrangements. In contrast, nuclear family arrangements provide conditions for ge...

Currently 80 per cent of our wheat comes from the United States," Lee said during a meeting at the Free Press on Thursday. Lee said Taiwan has to import wheat because as a small nation it only produces rice and a few vegetables. "We import all of our energy sources and most of our foodstuff." Darrell Bushuk, the wheat board's senior marketing manager responsible for the Asia-Pacific region, said the grain marketer only ships a small amount of wheat to Taiwan. "They're looking at diversifying a little bit and there's a good opportunity for us," Bushuk said.
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...
We use the competition between cross-strait subsidiaries in the Greater China region as our empirical setting. We take MNEs' Taiwanese subsidiaries as the focal subsidiaries in our discussion on subsidiary survival as viewed from an intersubsidiary competition perspective to explore these underdeveloped issues. Specifically, we propose and test three arguments. The strategic importance of a subsidiary's local environment to its MNE will influence its survival. When the subsidiary's strategic importance is high, it will be able to receive more parent resources to facilitate its survival; when the extent of the focal subsidiary's local responsiveness is high, intersubsidiary competition for parent resources will be intensified, thereby weakening the interdependence among subsidiaries and ...
It's tough being Taiwan.Taiwanese officials in Canada were surprised this week to read in The Vancouver Sun that city officials are in a dither over some 2010 Olympic items manufactured on the island nation. The promotional pins - advertising Vancouver as "host city" for the 2010 Games - were produced by official Vanoc pin maker Artiss Aminco Ltd. Part of an Artiss Aminco order that was supposed to derive from China in fact originated from a Taiwanese plant. In other words, countries want to protect their trade relationship with the Asian giant.And here's another surprise for Vancouver city officials.
Using the Taiwanese panel survey data, we investigate the consequences of children's co-residence with grandparents, and we find a positive effect on academic achievement. Further analysis reveals different types of effects among the various types of grandparent-grandchild co-residence. While long-term co-residence confers the most educational benefits, a recent transition into co-residence confers no such advantage. Compared to other co-resident situations, children who recently transition out of co-residence with grandparents are the most disadvantaged. Furthermore, we find educational benefits of coresident grandparents in both single-parent and two-parent families, but long-term co-resident grandparents' positive association with grandchildren's academic achievement is the most pron...
