“…The practical forms of filial piety vary along a continuum of care, support and respect. Most of the types of practice that participants identified in this research are similar to those from previous studies [17,18].…”

“…Currently, studies with a focus on nursing education and nurses' career development tend to explore participants' elements from a westernized perspective [7,11,13,16], in which individualism is the primary social norm and practice [4]. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the relationship between East Asian nursing students' sense of filial piety and their decision-making behind selecting nursing education as their major [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

“…It is worthwhile to note that, unlike in Western cultures, Asian young people tend to highly respect their parents' suggestions, as well as the recommendations of their elders, such as parents, grandparents, teachers, and elder siblings, due to traditions of filial piety [8]. In short, this study serves as one of the first attempts to understand the relationship between filial piety and the decision-making of East Asian university students regarding their major selection and career development [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Unlike with Westerners, the values of filial piety, collectivism, and sense of family union are essential elements for East Asian people [39].…”

“…The lack of long-term career development in Taiwan always prohibited youths from joining their dream professions [55], particularly in the humanities and fine art occupations. A participant (P#24, Male, Focus Group) shared an idea: It was not surprising to hear that in East Asia, university subject selections were not based on the students' own interests and desires for career development [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. For example, the above participants wished to join botanical biology during her secondary school period.…”

From the East Asian social and cultural perspectives and contexts, this study aimed to understand the relationships and behaviors between nursing students’ sense of filial piety and their decision-making behind selecting nursing education as their major. Forty-two traditional-age nursing students (i.e., six men and 36 women) at their final year of a bachelor’s degree program in nursing were invited. The findings indicated that many nursing students disliked their university major and the potential career pathway as a nursing professional, as none of them selected the major based on their choice and interest. The environmental context and family’s recommendations were the major impacts to influence the decision-making process of the participants. The result also indicated that filial piety, parents’ recommendations, and elderly people’s suggestions were the key factors to influence the selections and decisions of university major and career development pathways. The study provided a blueprint for related staff and professionals to create and design career counselling and services for East Asian youths to enable life investment and development.

“…A considerable number of papers published recently feature Confucian in the title or as a central point of reference in the content (Canda, ; Garon, ; Karim, Eikemo & Bambra, ; Phillips & Jung, ; Solinger, ; Yu, Chau & Lee, ). This, in part, reflects China's 11th five‐year‐plan for 2006–2010, which focused on building a harmonious (socialist) society by, among other things, emphasizing the expansion of welfare policies (Fan, ).…”

At the end of 2015, China put an end to the one-child policy (OCP), thereby terminating the largest family planning program in human history. For nearly four decades it had shaped relations between generations and between men and women to an extent never before seen. Today, China struggles with the unintended consequences of the OCP. It has resulted in the so-called 4-2-1 family structure, in which the only children had four grandparents and two parents to care for them when they grew up, but where they have to shoulder the care of four grandparents and two parents when they come of age, because both cultural values and legal prescriptions foresee reciprocal care responsibilities between generations. This has led to an enormous care deficit, which triggers conflicts between both genders and generations. A second major unintended consequence has been a skewed gender ratio of only 18 women per 20 men because of the strong preference for boys, which has led to so-called "bare branches:" Chinese men who are not able to find a spouse or have to rely on "mail-order brides." The paper concludes that the OCP has come to an end, but the unintended consequences prevail.
