    Abstract: This article investigates living arrangement preferences of elderly people in Taiwan, including coresidence with family (their children or spouse), coresidence with spouse only, living alone, and living in an institution. The authors consider the effects of three factors: the elderly persons’ health situation, their family resources, and their social participation, such as community workshops or political activities. Accordingly, the authors propose empirical logit models based on the well-developed discrete choice theory. Empirical results reveal that (1) elderly people with higher socioeconomic status, prefer either independent living arrangements or coresidence with their children, (2) elderly people with more family resources, such as large family size, prefer to coreside with their children, and (3) elderly people with adequate social support and/or contact networks prefer independent living arrangements.

    The Effect of Migration on the Mean Age of Population : An Application of Preston’s Mean Age of Population Improvement Model
    SAGE Publications ; 2015

    Abstract: The purpose of this study is to calculate population-aging rate among cities and counties, and the contribution of migration on the changing rate of a population’s mean age in Taiwan. The methodology employed Preston’s aging rate to analyze the demographic structure. Notable findings including (1) low birthrate contributes to population aging and (2) migration contributes to decline mean age in some cities. The final section of the article discusses how socioeconomic factors impacts migration patterns and ultimately affects population aging or rejuvenation. This article found that the higher social increase rate, the higher percentage of employment in the services industry, and the larger average living area per person depressed mean age of population. This indicates that socioeconomic development, such as creating more employment opportunities or improving living quality in cities, will attract younger demographics and shift the populations mean age. Based on such findings, it is the conclusions of this study that the government should promote childbirth and foster local socioeconomic development to attract migration, even international emigration.

    Another Marriage Choice : A Study of Uxorilocal Marriage in Taiwan, Comparative Research of Taipei (Urban) and Xinchu (Rural), 1906–1944

    Abstract: This study utilizes the Taiwan colonial household registration data to study the cause of uxorilocal marriage in Taiwan during the period of Japanese colonial rule and, simultaneously, to compare the prevalence of uxorilocal marriage in urban (Taipei) and rural (XinChu) communities. The socioeconomic status of the bride and groom’s family, and ethnic and urban–rural differences are the main issues in this research. In addition, the viewpoints of Wolf and Huang and Pasternak will be rechecked vis-à-vis regional differences. The results of this study will be presented by statistic analysis and geographic information system. In Taiwan, compared to major and minor marriage, uxorilocal marriage had a higher ratio in Taipei and XinChu. In uxorilocal marriage, the age of brides and grooms is older in Taipei than in XinChu. In addition, our research indicates either daughters or adopted daughters, if they had fewer siblings or no brothers, had a higher probability of entering into uxorilocal marriages. Moreover, uxorilocal marriages were found to be less prevalent in later birth cohorts while ethnic groups and parent’s marriage types had no direct effect on uxorilocal marriage.

    To Nurse the Young: Breastfeeding and Infant Feeding in Late Imperial China
    SAGE Publications ; 1995
    In:  Journal of Family History Vol. 20, No. 3 ( 1995-09), p. 217-238

    In: Journal of Family History, SAGE Publications, Vol. 20, No. 3 ( 1995-09), p. 217-238
    Abstract: The article concerns breastfeeding and infant feeding in late imperial China, as described in medical texts and family records. Special instructions on nursing appeared in Chinese medical writings from the tenth century on as pediatrics became a medical profession. Instructions changed over time, as did the notion of human milk itself. Advice dealt with how best to select a wetnurse and with how and when to provide solid foods as a complementary and supplementary infant diet. Practical examples from medical case records, and biographical and family documents, reveal people's real experience with breastfeeding and infant feeding.

    Family Livelihood, Social Class and Mothers’ Self-cognition: The Transformation of “Mothering” in Japanese Colonial Taiwan (1895–1945)
    SAGE Publications ; 2021
    In:  Journal of Family History Vol. 46, No. 2 ( 2021-04), p. 154-167
    Details
    In: Journal of Family History, SAGE Publications, Vol. 46, No. 2 ( 2021-04), p. 154-167
    Abstract: Based on oral histories and diaries of women who lived in the Japanese colonial period, this article analyzes the role and transformation of “mothering” in Taiwan, examining how the Han Chinese patriarchal society in Taiwan responded to colonialization and modernization in the early twentieth century. It reveals that most Taiwanese women at that time married in their teens and began to take on the tasks of mothers before the age of twenty. Difference in social class served as a key element affecting mothering practices. Rural and lower-class mothers had no choice but to prioritize productive labor over physical childcare; women of the traditional upper class could afford nannies; the emerging group of “new women” hired lower-class women to help with household tasks and childcare while they developed their professional careers. In addition to the physical care of children, Taiwanese mothers put great emphasis on the education and future development of children, especially sons. However, as the custom of “daughters-in-law-to-be” was quite common, from an early age many girls faced only their “mothers-in-law-to-be” instead of their biological mothers. “Mothering” was thus absent in these women’s lives, complicating the meaning of “motherhood.”
