“…Children's socioeconomic status (SES) could also moderate the relationship between Internet use and development outcomes. More educated parents are more engaged in interacting with their children through talking, reading, and organizing structured activities (Hertog & Zhou, 2021; Lareau, 2011). Those parents also have the skills and knowledge to utilize new technology for the benefit and guide their children to navigate online to enhance their capital (Zillien & Hargittai, 2009).…”

This study provides new evidence on how the growingly significant digital life shapes Chinese adolescents' cognitive and mental health outcomes based on their gender, parental education, and geographical location. Using the China Education Panel Survey, a nationally representative survey following 12-15-year-old students in 2013 and 2014, and individual fixed-effect models, we find that more time spent on the Internet is associated with higher selfreported depression scores. This negative impact on mental health is more substantial for girls, those with lesseducated parents, and those living outside the city center. The link between Internet use and cognitive development is almost null. Time spent online negatively affects Chinese young adolescents' subjective well-being but has little impact on their cognitive development. The link between Internet use time and subjective well-being also depends on gender, parental education, and the geographical location of those adolescents. The heterogeneous impacts of Internet use time offer crucial new evidence to the multiple dimensions of the digital divide among adolescents in China.

“…The interesting relationship between housing arrangements and fertility in Korea highlights the implications of rising economic inequality and housing insecurity for reduced fertility. Park (2021) and Hertog and Zhou (2021) provide empirical evidence that parents' and children's time use are systematically related to the socioeconomic conditions of Korean and Japanese families. Tracking how parents' time use to care for children under school age has evolved from 1999 to 2014 based on time diary data, Park (2021) demonstrates growing differences in childcare time between parents with a bachelor's degree and their counterparts with a high school diploma at most.…”

“…Shifting focus to children's time use rather than parents' time investment in children, Hertog and Zhou (2021) assess the association between family socioeconomic conditions, represented by household income and parental education, and adolescents' daily minutes spent on study (inside and outside of school separately), sleep, and leisure in Japan. Adolescents from higher income households study for more hours after school and spend less time on leisure than their peers from less affluent families.…”

“…The following eight articles of this special collection, titled Family Changes and Inequality in East Asia, share a key interest: how growing economic inequality and labor market uncertainty and stubborn gender-inegalitarian norms and environments have shaped families in East Asia. Collectively, these eight articles address how families in East Asia have evolved against a backdrop of changing economic contexts and persistent gender inequality, among other key forces affecting family life, across a variety of familyrelated outcomes: from singlehood, marriage intentions, and dating (Brinton, Mun, and Hertog 2021;Raymo, Uchikoshi, and Yoda 2021;Yu and Hara 2020), through fertility (Lim 2021), the time use of adolescents and parents with young children (Hertog and Zhou 2021;Park 2021), and women's careers (He and Wu 2021), to intergenerational coresidence and the life satisfaction of older parents (Chen, Shen, and Ruan 2021). Our collection moves beyond focusing on a single event such as marriage or fertility in a short time window to cover different stages of the life course, from singlehood to older parents' living arrangements.…”

BACKGROUNDEast Asian societies have experienced rapid social changes, among which the extraordinary expansion of higher education for both women and men, rising economic inequality, and increasing labor market uncertainty should be particularly relevant to family changes. At the same time, gender inequality and traditional gender norms still prevail and shape family life in the region. The eight articles in this special collection share the common interest of how families in East Asia have evolved against a backdrop of growing economic inequality and persistent gender inequality -among other key forces affecting family life -across a variety of family-related outcomes: from singlehood, marriage intentions, and dating, through fertility, the time use of adolescents and parents with young children, and women's careers, to intergenerational coresidence and the life satisfaction of older parents. RESULTSOur eight studies look at connected but distinctive outcomes related to family life, and collectively demonstrate the relevance of increased labor market uncertainty and the continuing male breadwinner norm to emerging patterns of family behavior in East Asia. They illustrate specific ways in which East Asian families are shaped by the joint forces of economic inequality and gender inequality. CONTRIBUTIONThis volume highlights the complexity and heterogeneity of contemporary East Asian families, inviting family and demography researchers to conduct more studies on underresearched family behaviors such as cohabitation and nonmarital births and to revisit the conventional perception that family ties are strong and family support is readily available in East Asia.

“…Another common problem of survey measures is the use of stylized questions asking teenagers to provide their bedtimes and wake-up times using half-hourly intervals, from which sleep patterns are then calculated. Stylized measures have been demonstrated to be subject to high measurement error, compared to data obtained from time diaries, where respondents report every 10 minutes what exactly they have done throughout a full day (24 hours) (Gracia et al, 2020;Hertog & Zhou, 2021;Kan & Pudney, 2008) .…”

INTRODUCTION: Adolescents’ poor sleep is a major public health problem that can be influenced by national context. This study adopts a novel 24-hour approach to examine cross-country variations in adolescents’ sleep patterns.METHODS: We use high-quality 24-hour time-diary data from the Multinational Time Use Study (N = 25,248 diaries; mean age 15.4 years; 50.3% girls) across nine countries (i.e., Finland, France, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, and the UK) to examine cross-country variations in adolescents’ sleep duration and timing, including sleep onset (i.e., start of the sleep period) and wake-up time (i.e., end of the sleep period). RESULTS: Results show large cross-national differences in sleep duration on both schooldays (from 7:21 hours in South Korea to 8:51 hours in South Africa) and non-schooldays (from 9:26 hours in South Korea to 10:27 hours in the Netherlands), but also in sleep timing, with earliest sleep onsets and wake-up times in South Africa, and latest sleep onsets and wake-up-times in Spain. The incidence of insufficient sleep duration (i.e., less than 8 hours) on schooldays varies from 19% in South Africa to 68% in South Korea. Participation in four key activities (i.e., eating, screen-based time, socializing, studying) during the two hours prior to adolescent sleep onset differs strongly across countries. Boys sleep slightly longer than girls in most countries, and younger adolescents sleep longer, with some relevant country variations. CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents’ sleep duration and timing, and the nature of activity patterns before sleep onset, differ markedly across national contexts.
