Gendering a New Marker of Adulthood: Home Ownership in Southwest China

Abstract: Life course researchers have made important advances in understanding the Western transition to adulthood but have paid less attention to global variations and gender differences. This paper draws on Risman's (2004Risman's ( , 2018 theory of gender as a social structure to examine the gendered meanings of establishing an independent household, a relatively new marker of adulthood in China that has evolved to focus on home ownership. Drawing on 100 interviews with men and women in two cities in southwest China,… Show more

“…If data suggest that young adults achieve residential autonomy early, becoming a homeowner is however not easy for them. Since the country's opening-up to market economy and the privatization of housing, men remain the main providers of housing (Kane & Li, 2021). Access to property constitutes in the collective imagination an element of identification with the middle class (Zhang, 2008).…”

“…For the male respondents, it is a central element of their identity, as it is a criterion by which men are judged. It embodies the autonomy and ability that men have to earn their living and to provide for their family (Kane & Li, 2021). However, as the interviews illustrate, the reality is more complex, as women also often play their part to enable the couple to become homeowners.…”

“…Dans les sociétés asiatiques, les études qui s'intéressent à la transition vers la vie adulte sont étonnamment peu nombreuses étant donné que 60 % de la jeunesse mondiale réside dans la région Asie-Pacifique (Department of Economic and Social Affairs [DESA], 2007;Fukuda, 2013;Huang, 2013;Ishida, 2013;Ji, 2013;Nahar, Xenos et Abalos, 2013;Park, 2013;Utomo, Reimondos, Utomo, McDonald et Hull, 2013;Xenos, Sulistinah, Hui, Ping, Chai, Corazon et Chyam, 2007;Yeung et Alipio, 2013). Les recherches sur la transition vers la vie adulte se fondant sur des données chinoises sont, à notre connaissance, encore relativement rares (Badger, Nelson et McNamara Barry, 2006;Bao, 2012;Fulda, Nauck et Ren, 2019;Hannum et Liu, 2005;Kane et Li, 2021;Li, 2013;Lin, 2013;Nelson et Chen, 2007;Tian, 2016;Yeung et Alipio, 2013;Yeung et Hu, 2013;Zhang, 2004;Zhong et Arnett, 2014). De plus, les différentes étapes constitutives de la transition vers la vie adulte sont le plus souvent examinées de manière autonome.…”

“…Si les jeunes adultes accèdent tôt à l'autonomie résidentielle (Constantin, 2017), il ne leur est cependant pas facile d'accéder à la propriété. Depuis l'ouverture du pays à l'économie de marché et la privatisation des logements, les hommes demeurent les principaux pourvoyeurs de logement (Kane et Li, 2021). L'accès à la propriété constitue dans l'imaginaire collectif un élément d'identification à la classe moyenne (Zhang, 2008).…”
