“…Tseng et al [25] showed that parents with a higher education level are more likely to live in the same neighborhood as their adult sons/daughters. According to Yi and Chang [42], the family structure in Taiwan has gradually reverted to the patriarchal living arrangement (three generations living in the patriarchal home), which resulted from an increasingly educated Taiwanese population, elevating human capital for males and females, increased household income from two working parents, and adult sons/daughters who lack the time for household chores. However, the empirical results do not support what we had surmised.…”

Taiwan’s declining birthrate has changed the housing market, which should become more consumer-oriented in the future. In particular, age-friendly housing has become a salient housing choice among buyers. Age-friendly housing consists of housing units that are suitable for occupants of any age. There are three concepts underlying such housing: aging in place, multigenerational-multiunit living arrangements, and lifetime homes. This study aimed to examine the factors affecting consumers’ choice of age-friendly housing. The participants were residents of Kaohsiung City, and data analysis was performed using a binary logistic model. The empirical results indicated that adult sons/daughters, residents who currently live in the city center, residents who have a high or medium monthly family income, residents who are currently part of a stem family, residents who desire to live under multigenerational-multiunit living arrangements, residents who desire to be a part of a stem family, and residents who prioritize housing type when house-buying are significantly more likely to choose age-friendly housing. These results can serve as a reference regarding age-friendly housing investments for investors, as well as for house buyers who are deliberating between age-friendly housing and ordinary housing.

“…The latter two types of support exchange that occupy dominant proportions among Americans (about 70%) contrast sharply with those among Taiwanese respondents (about 30%). Earlier results from Taiwan showed the majority of families prefer the ideal types rather than the other types (Lin, 2012) because cultural expectations for filial obligations have the dominant effect on intergenerational relationship in Asian countries (Guo et al, 2012; Park et al, 2005; Yi & Chang, 2019). The upstream support pattern is the reflection of filial piety rooted in Confucian ethics (Yeh et al, 2013).…”

“…In terms of the differences in intergenerational exchanges patterns, given that material resources available to adults decrease in Taiwan after 2007, it is more probable that Taiwanese adult children decrease the proportion of the high-exchange pattern because high-exchange is comprised of high financial support exchange. The proportions of the dependent and low-exchange types might be slightly different during the survey period because these exchange patterns are not acceptable for most Taiwanese who obey culturally prescribed norms (Yi & Chang, 2019).…”

This study explores whether cultural norms and economic performance shape the differences in the patterns of intergenerational exchanges, and analyzes whether structural, normative, or emotional dimensions of intergenerational solidarity predict the derived typology of intergenerational exchange in Taiwan before and after economic stagnation. Data derives from nationally representative samples of adult children with at least one parent alive in 2006 and 2016. Latent class analysis (LCA), measurement invariance with LCA, and multinomial logistic regression analysis are applied to analyze data. The results demonstrate how filial norms and economic stagnation influence the intergenerational exchange patterns. The study identifies five classes of intergenerational exchanges. There was a higher proportion of the high-exchange membership in the period of salary growth, while there was a higher proportion of the memberships of emotion-oriented exchanges during the wage stagnation period. Results reveal that geographic distance exerts a stronger and more consistent association with various exchange patterns.

“…Thus, highly-educated Taiwanese women are likely to remain fully employed even after marriage and childbirth (Brinton, 2001). Meanwhile, there has been a drastic rise in late marriage and a continuous decline in fertility (Yi & Chang, 2019). Yi and Chang (2019, p. 220) point out that "salient factors such as increasing human capital, rising dual-earner families and the ideological shift of gender equality are proposed to explain why married couples postpone or do not want children.…”

“I want to look as if I am my child’s big sister”: Self-satisfaction and the yummy mummy in Taiwan

This paper explores the trend of stay-fit maternity in Taiwan and extends the feminist analysis of the yummy mummy under neoliberalism to a non-Western context. Drawing insight from Foucault’s critique of the theory of human capital and his emphasis on “psychic return,” it examines a process of continuous interaction between outer appearance and the inner world of these Taiwanese women during and after pregnancy. Thus, by using the perspective of the flux of psychic return in order to understand these women’s continuous aesthetic labour, I emphasize the importance of self-satisfaction as a determinant gain of the valorization of appearance in this process of maximizing self-appreciation and diminishing self-depreciation. I underline not only the importance of the functioning of an economy of affects which supports and overdetermines their beauty practices but also, in some circumstances, that the immaterial return in the quest for beauty takes priority over material earnings and the influences of social pressures. As well, my analysis finds complex and overlapping relations between self-satisfaction and neoliberal rationality such that self-appreciation constitutes the pleasure of embodying a recognized ideal of the maternal, the joy of overcoming undisciplined flesh, and the confidence-enhancement of being mistakenly seen as a young girl.
