“…Marriage migration has also become common in Southeast and East Asia. Many of the women who come from Southeast and East Asia are married to men in Singapore, South Korea, Japan, or Taiwan, and they migrate to their husbands' country [4][5][6]. Of the immigrants who have migrated to Asian countries, roughly 60% were born in Asia [1].…”

Background Women's participation in decision-making in the household is an indicator of women's empowerment. Few studies have compared domestic decision-making power and its effect on postpartum health between immigrant and native-born women. This study aimed to examine the effect of domestic decision-making power and social support during pregnancy on predicting postpartum depressive and physical symptoms among immigrant and nativeborn mothers in Taiwan. Methods and findings This prospective study recruited 177 marriage-based immigrant mothers and 230 nativeborn women who were at least twelve weeks pregnant from hospitals, clinics and health centers. Data were collected in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy and at 3 months postpartum from March 2013 to March 2015. Postpartum depression and the severity of postpartum physical symptoms were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and a 17-item, 4-point Likert scale, respectively. Linear regression was used to examine the relationship between "domestic decision-making power and social support during pregnancy" and "depressive and physical symptoms at 3 months postpartum." Women who had lower domestic decision-making power and social support during pregnancy had higher postpartum depressive and physical symptoms. Those women with full-time employment and insufficient family income had higher postpartum depressive symptoms. Though immigrant women scored lower in domestic decision-making power and social support than native-born women, they had lower mean scores in postpartum depressive and physical symptoms. After accounting for the abovementioned factors, immigrant women remained at lower risk for postpartum depressive and physical symptoms than native-born women.

“…Workers in these countries choose to work and eventually settle abroad to improve family well-being (Jones, 2014). The marriage of women from ASEAN countries with men from Asian countries considered richer, such as Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, caused the international migration of these women, a phenomenon that increased rapidly in the 1990s (Chung et al, 2016).…”

ASEAN is a region with high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, accompanied by an increase in population, gross domestic product (GDP) and energy consumption. Population, GDP, and energy consumption can be linked to CO2 emissions through an identity equation called the Rich Identity. This research is based on Kaya identity to describe CO2 emissions to calculate the impact of population, economic activity, energy intensity and carbon intensity on CO2 emissions in ASEAN and 8 ASEAN countries (i.e., Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar and Brunei Darussalam) from 1990 to 2017. The method used is the Logarithmic Mean Division Index (LMDI). The data used are from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the World Bank. Four effects measured and main findings showed that population, economic activity and carbon intensity factor increased by 293.02 MtCO2, 790.0 MtCO2, and 195.51 MtCO2, respectively. Meanwhile, energy intensity effect made ASEAN's CO2 emissions decrease by 283.13 MtCO2. Regarding contributions to the increase in CO2 emissions in all ASEAN countries, the population effect increases CO2 emissions in all countries in ASEAN and the economic activity effect is also the same, except in Brunei Darussalam which makes CO2 emissions in this country decreased by 1.07 MtCO2. Meanwhile, the effects of energy and carbon intensity are different. The effect of energy intensity causes CO2 emissions in lower-middle income countries to decrease, while in upper-middle and high-income countries, it increases carbon emissions. In contrast to the effect of carbon intensity, that actually makes CO2 emissions increase in lower-middle income countries and reduces carbon emissions in upper-middle and high-income countries.

“…The Vietnamese community of 185,000 ranks sixth in size among non-Anglo communities in Australia (Baldassar, Pyke, and Ben-Moshe 2017, 937). Unlike migration to South Korea by Vietnamese individuals mainly for marriage (Chung, Kim, and Piper 2016) or to Taiwan for domestic work (Cheng and Choo 2015), the Vietnamese community in Australia consists of four main groups: those who left Vietnam due to political reasons after the unification of Vietnam in April 1975 (Nguyen and Tang 2017); those who fled Vietnam by boat for political and/or economic reasons in the 1980s to 1990s; those who initially arrived in Australia as international students or skilled workers; and the descendants of the first-generation Vietnamese migrants. Despite the diversity of the Vietnamese population in Australia, the sense of a collective Vietnamese identity in these transnational families remains strong (Baldassar et al 2017).…”
