“…To make matters worse, at the time, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin ignorantly suggested mothers try all sorts of recipes for their family due to the fact that they have more time in their hands (Endut, 2020). This deep-rooted frame of mind that women are the primary caregiver in the family has caused millennial women to be doing more unpaid work which in return has given rise to challenges at home (Mohd Noor et al, 2022). This topic as to why women are inevitably assigned to domestic roles would be engrossing to be further researched.…”

“…After reviewing these journal articles, it is evident that women and stereotyped social roles are inseparable. In Malaysia, women in society are pressured to satisfy traditional life values despite many having strong characters and being highly literate (Mohd Noor et al, 2022). Many women disclosed that husbands and in-laws are the reasons that are stopping them from progressing and fulfilling their desires (Abdullah et al, 2008).…”

Despite some cultures worshipping women as goddesses, they are in reality not treated equally as they deserve. This is because of the common stereotypical images as nurturers albeit they are dispersed in different socioeconomic fields. In Malaysia, the content in textbooks is among the factors that lead up to the aforementioned situation. Academics argue that textbooks serve as a staple in teaching and learning since it reflects the formal curriculum which starts at a young age. At the same time, it is also arguable that textbooks also make a useful tool that indoctrinates gender stereotypes. The twenty-first century sees the appropriateness of textbooks as a sustainable resource that caters to cultural transmission namely gender stereotypes and gender roles. Therefore, this paper explored the gender roles bestowed to women in ESL textbooks based on reviews in previous literature and the changes in gender roles of women portrayed in textbooks throughout the years. To achieve the objectives, this study qualitatively analysed 25 journal articles using the Critical Discourse Analysis method to discuss the gender roles of women in ESL textbooks globally from 2017 until 2022. Journal articles were selected using PRISMA's four phases of journal articles selection across two databases: Google Scholar and The Education Resources Information Centre (ERIC). This review revealed that in the most part, women were stereotypically portrayed as doing chores and performing domestic roles while being underrepresented in occupational roles and social activities. Along with that, throughout the years, the women's roles in textbooks did not undergo a tremendous transformation despite the development women have actually achieved globally.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to see how social media usage affected family communication among Chinese adolescents. The study's overarching goal was to determine the influence of social networks on family communication among Chinese adolescents. The study aimed to determine how frequently Chinese adolescents used social media and how this might affect their family interactions. Design / Methodology / Approach: The data were obtained from seven Chinese respondents who comprised the sample. In-depth interviews were used as a data collection tool. The data collected were thematically analysed. Main Findings: The findings reveal that Chinese adolescents spend more time interacting with friends and social networks online than speaking with their families. They frequently seek mentoring, advice, and emotional and social support from online friends. According to the study findings, adolescents' personalities significantly impede effective family interaction and communication. Research limitations/implications: The findings show that social media significantly impacts family communication. Future research could also look at the attitudes and behaviours of parents and adult children on social media. Originality/value: This research is unique in that it looks at the Chinese community's family communication patterns on social media. The findings of this study will benefit Chinese society because family communication serves as a crucible for society.

Millennials are currently the largest generational cohort in many countries, and Generation Z are fast approaching. The financial wellbeing of these cohorts is imperative to global financial success and wellbeing. This study was conducted with the aim of exploring the financial habits and knowledge of two generational cohorts by assessing the personal savings and investment behaviours. Further, the study aimed to analyse the spending habits and financial goals of millennials and GenZ. Lastly, the study was implored to determine what strategy could be undertaken to improve the spending and savings habits, and the financial knowledge possessed by these two generations. The most appropriate research methodology to adopt was a qualitative approach, and employed 12 respondents, split equally between the two generational cohorts. Semi structured interviews were conducted with each respondent. By using a thematic approach to the study, significant themes presented themselves, aiding to meet the research objectives. Prevalent themes that emerged included saving patterns and budgeting, investment views and practices, the influence of financial technology and digitisation on saving behaviour, spending habits, financial well- being aspirations and the influences on financial acumen. The findings have found that both cohorts exercise savings habits at either the beginning or the end of the month, however more millennials have a strict savings plan as compared to GenZ. The responses also highlighted that both generational cohorts place emphasis on home ownership in affluent areas. 83% of respondents are risk adverse and choose to hold safer rather risky investments. The study also concluded that millennials are more financially committed than GenZ and have accumulated debt at a younger age in terms of a bond or vehicle finance. Several recommendations were made, including make use of a strict monthly budget, diversifying investment portfolios with the assistance of financial advisors, and Government intervention to reduce interest rates and offer housing subsidies to younger generational cohorts that wish to purchase homes.
