“…For women married before 1981, marrying at an older age was associated with a lower risk of divorce. This result is consistent with analyses carried out in other countries (Hoem 1997;Lyngstad 2006;Yi Zeng et al 2002). However, this effect disappeared for those married after 1981.…”

“…A large body of evidence on determinants of divorce is now available for the United States (Rogers and DeBoer 2001;South 2001;Teachman 2002;Raley and Bumpass 2003), Northern and Eastern Europe (Jalovaara 2002;Walke 2002;Lyngstad 2004Lyngstad , 2006Fischer and Liefbroer 2006;De Graaf and Kalmijn 2006), Central Europe (Diekmann and Engelhardt 1999), and Asia (Raymo, Iwasawa, and Bumpass 2004;Yi Zeng et al 2002). Various studies have also addressed the question of whether the determinants of divorce have changed over time (Hoem 1997;Teachman 2002;Chan and Halpin 2005;De Graaf and Kalmijn 2006;Härkönen and Dronkers 2006).…”

“…This can be clearly seen when divorce rates are examined at the provincial (regional) level. Provinces in which arranged marriages declined also witnessed a decline in divorce rates (Zeng et al, 2002;Zeng and Deqing, 2000). However, at the national level, changes in the legal, educational and economic condition of women, ideational change, ease of remarriage and erosion of stigma attached to divorce have lead to changes in divorce rates.…”

This paper presents and discusses recent trends in divorce for countries in Asia, highlighting both wide variations in divorce patterns and recent changes in divorce trends for countries in the region. Three broad regional patterns are evident: an East Asian pattern characterised by increasing divorce rates, though there are signs of stabilisation in some countries in the last few years; an Islamic Southeast Asian pattern characterised by declining divorce rates until recently; and a South Asian pattern with relatively stable and low divorce rates. The paper also discusses divorce in international marriages in some East Asian countries and Singapore.

“…The educational disparities found in our sample may reflect economic choices made in this context. Likewise, although comparatively low, divorce rates in China have increased sharply in the last two decades, particularly in coastal provinces, amid rapid socioeconomic development and resultant changes in Chinese attitudes toward divorce as well as relaxed legal and administrative procedures of divorce (Zeng and Deqing, 2000;Zeng et al, 2002). Coupled with the narrowing of opportunities for women in the formal economies of China, this scenario suggests a specific economic incentive for some segment of educated and non-married women to consider human smuggling a viable enterprise.…”

Women's Participation in Chinese Transnational Human Smuggling: A Gendered Market Perspective*

Despite extensive sociological research on gender and organizations, criminologists have paid insufficient attention to how organizational context and market demands may shape the extent and nature of women's participation in illicit enterprises. This study uses an organizational framework to examine the case of Chinese human smuggling to the United States. Drawing from interviews with 129 human smugglers, we propose a gendered market perspective for understanding the place of women in the human smuggling enterprise. We argue that the limited place of violence and turf as organizing features of human smuggling, the importance of interpersonal networks in defining and facilitating smuggling operations, gender ideologies about work and caregiving, and the impact of safety as an overriding concern for clients combine to create a more meaningful niche for women in human smuggling operations than is found in other criminal endeavors. Our research suggests that organizational and market contexts are significant explanations for gender stratification in illicit enterprises.
