Features: This book compiles the collaborative research results of a decade-long study on families across Chinese societies. It brings together key scholars from three regions to conduct a comprehensive examination of the "status of Chinese women in families" based on the unique characteristics of each society. Under the "resource-norm" framework, the book systematically analyzes the similarities and differences in family structures and relationships among the three Chinese societies within the context of cultural homogeneity and social institutional diversity. How do family structures and women's employment shape the family status of modern Chinese women? How do the dynamic interconnections within families manifest differently in Taiwan, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Hong Kong? This work is indispensable for those interested in the development of families and the status of women across the Mainland, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
