While a large number of studies assumed gendered socialisation leads to partner abuse, little evidence exists for India. We bridge this crucial gap by exploring the pathways between childhood socialisation and intimate partner violence, using data 'Youth in India: Situation and Need Study (2006-2007)' for 5573 young married men (15-29 years). Nearly 17 per cent of men inflicted physical IPV in the past 12 months. Seventy-seven per cent recognized the experience of gender discrimination in their family and reported exposure to violence in two ways-one-third witnessed fathers abusing their mothers and 48 per cent were beaten by their parents. Adverse childhood experiences were associated with IPV perpetration. The structural equation model indicated significant pathways between IPV and childhood socialisation in the forms of experienced violence and gender discrimination. Findings underscore the importance of a violence-free, gender-neutral family environment for young generations and call for a comprehensive policy to ameliorate the impacts of IPV.

ABSTRACT Pakistan is the seventh largest contributor to world urban growth and exhibits high levels of urbanization. The recent 2017 Population Census results show a slowing of urban growth. We question whether this apparent slowdown reflects lowering of the rate of natural increase and migration, or is the result of a disconnect between the administrative definition of urban and actual reality. Alternative estimates presented here suggest that the 2017 Census may have underestimated urbanization by as much as 22.2 per cent, that is, the actual level of urbanization may be 44.5 per cent compared to 36.4 per cent reported in the census. We decompose the urban growth to assess the relative impact of natural increase, reclassification and migration and we utilize alternative methods of classification of urban areas to assess urbanization levels for Pakistan and its provinces. Continuing high levels of urban fertility and natural increase are the major contributors to urban growth. Internal migration is the next biggest contributor, however directions of movements may be changing. These findings have implications for the forthcoming 2022 census to improve the enumeration of urban areas and for urban planning to take advantage of the beneficial effects of building connectivity between small, medium, and large cities.

ABSTRACT War exposure is a critical yet often ignored determinant of health in Asia. Cursory calculations suggest up to 80 per cent of Asians were alive at a point when a cumulatively intense war was ongoing in their country of current residence. As an example, data from Vietnam indicate that large proportions alive during past wars in that country experienced very traumatic and stressful events such as bombing in their region of residence and witnessing a war-related death. Burgeoning literature suggest that this type of exposure to wartime trauma has effects on health that continue throughout life. This evidence, coupled with the ongoing population aging across Asia and the concurrent numbers of those moving into old age that were exposed to war at some point during their life, implicates war and the trauma that comes with it as one factor shaping population health in Asia.

ABSTRACT This paper examines migration from less developed areas to more developed areas. Based on recent data collected in Hong Kong in 2020, we explore the intention of Hong Kong Chinese residents aged between 18 and 50 to move to mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area (GBA). Despite rapid economic growth in the area, many local Hong Kong Chinese residents still consider mainland cities in GBA as less developed. In this study, we provide an alternative framework for exploring the ways that economic and non-economic factors can influence the intention to migrate from less developed areas to more developed areas. The results of our analyses demonstrate that non-economic adjustment cost, such as the level of familiarity with the destination, social networks, and ability to speak Putonghua, plays an important role in shaping the intention of working-age adults in Hong Kong to move to mainland cities in GBA.

There is a very long history of migration within the region encompassed bymainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. In the last half century, migration in the region has been shaped by geopolitics and regional socioeconomic development. The defeat of the Kuomintang in China’s civil war in 1949 triggered millions of people to flee to Hong Kong and Taiwan. In the following decades, there were political campaigns initiated by the government in mainland China. The Three-anti and Five-anti Campaigns in 1951 and 1952, the Great Leap Forward from 1958 to 1962, and the Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976 directly affected and sometimes halted the economy and agricultural production, including the Great Famine between 1959 and 1961, led to millions of people to flee to Hong Kong in search of stability (Fong et al., 2018). With the border closing after 1960, there was gradually minimal migration from mainland China to Hong Kong and Taiwan. Migration between these three areas has flourished in recent decades. Since the 1980s, China has pushed for economic reform and opened the market, thereby attracting people from Taiwan in search of opportunities. According to the Chinese census, there were about 170,283 Taiwan residents in mainland China in 2010. The number remained steady ten years later and there were 157,886 Taiwan residents in the mainland in 2020. The same economic opportunity also attracted many people from Hong Kong who relocated or expanded to mainland China in the 1980s and 1990s. The number of Hong Kong residents in mainland China increased by nearly 60 per cent from 234,829 in 2010–371,380 in 2020 (National Bureau of Statistics of China, 2011, 2021). While people from Hong Kong and Taiwan migrated to mainland China, many from the mainland also moved to Hong Kong and Taiwan. After the return of Hong Kong to mainland China in 1997, more than 760,000 people, mainly females, moved from mainland China to Hong Kong in the next 15 years for family reunification (Pong et al., 2014). The Hong Kong government also launched a series of admission schemes to attract talent worldwide, especially from mainland China. The Admission Scheme for Mainland Talents and Professionals and the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme were introduced in 2003 and the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme was introduced in 2006. More recent schemes include the Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates since 2008 and the Technology Talent Admission Scheme since 2018. By the end of 2019, over 260,000 immigrants had been recruited under these schemes and a considerable proportion of them came from mainland China (Hong Kong Government, 2020).
在中国大陆、香港和台湾所包围的地区，有很长的移民历史。在过去的半个世纪里，该地区的移民受到地缘政治和区域社会经济发展的影响。1949年，国民党在中国内战中战败，导致数百万人逃往香港和台湾。在接下来的几十年里，中国大陆出现了由政府发起的政治运动。1951年和1952年的三反和五反运动，1958年至1962年的大跃进，以及1966年至1976年的文化大革命，直接影响并有时停止了经济和农业生产，包括1959年至1961年的大饥荒，导致数百万人逃往香港寻求稳定(Fong et al.， 2018)。随着1960年后边境的关闭，从中国大陆到香港和台湾的移民逐渐减少。近几十年来，这三个地区之间的人口迁移十分活跃。自20世纪80年代以来，中国推动经济改革，开放市场，从而吸引了台湾人来寻找机会。根据中国人口普查，2010年中国大陆约有170283名台湾居民。十年后，这一数字保持稳定，到2020年，大陆有157886名台湾居民。同样的经济机会也吸引了许多香港人在20世纪80年代和90年代移居或扩展到中国大陆。在中国大陆的香港居民人数从2010年的234,829人增加到2020年的371,380人，增长了近60%(中国国家统计局，2011,2021)。当香港和台湾的人移居到中国大陆时，许多大陆人也移居到香港和台湾。1997年香港回归中国大陆后，在接下来的15年里，超过76万人(主要是女性)从中国大陆移居到香港与家人团聚(Pong et al.， 2014)。香港政府还推出了一系列招生计划，以吸引世界各地的人才，尤其是来自中国大陆的人才。“输入内地人才计划”和“资本投资者入境计划”于2003年推出，“优秀人才入境计划”则于2006年推出。最近的计划包括自2008年起实施的非本地毕业生入境安排，以及自2018年起实施的科技人才入境计划。截至2019年底，通过这些计划招募了超过26万名移民，其中相当一部分来自中国大陆(香港政府，2020)。

ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate the relationships between perceived discrimination, institutional trust, and settlement intention among highly educated domestic migrants by accounting for their structural (educational and economic) positions. Theoretically, this study of Hong Kong and Macao explores the integration paradox, a well-documented perspective on skilled migrants in transnational contexts, and expands it to internal migrant populations. Using respondent-driven sampling, the data include 2,951 highly educated migrants from mainland China to Hong Kong and Macao. The results indicate that a higher educational position in terms of tertiary educational attainment is associated with lower settlement intention among domestic migrants, a finding that tallies with the integration paradox. However, economic position in terms of income bolsters, rather than weakens, settlement intention. Perceived discrimination and institutional trust are evident in mediating the negative effect of tertiary educational attainment on the settlement intention of domestic migrants.

ABSTRACT While many countries now prioritise accepting skilled migrants to meet labour demand in a globalised economy, retaining them has been a challenge. Low retention is often attributed to immigration policy failures and/or skill mismatches in the labour market. This paper argues that besides career issues, skilled migrants’ cultural aspirations and their sense of ‘civic belonging’ are significant factors when evaluating migration outcomes and the prospect of staying. This paper is based on 44 in-depth interviews with Taiwanese college-educated migrants working in Hong Kong and Tokyo, two major Asian global cities known for attracting foreign talent. The paper found that ambivalence towards staying prevails, due to unfulfilled aspirations for cosmopolitanism—in the case of Tokyo—and frustrations with a limited ‘social contract’—in the case of Hong Kong. The implications of these findings could extend the scope of factors to be considered in investigating what shapes migrants’ settlement decisions in demographic research.

ABSTRACT South Korea’s total fertility rate reached 1.3 in 2001 and hit a record low (0.92) in 2019. The total number of births shrank even faster, recording a 45.9 per cent drop between 2001 and 2019. To understand the declining births and the contributing demographic factors, I decompose the change in the birth rate into mean generation size, fertility quantum, and tempo distortions, and evaluate their relative contributions to the decline. The remarkable birth decline since 2001 is largely explained by fertility quantum decline, especially for second births, and shrinking generation size caused by the decline in female population size. Tempo distortions were strong, but given the marginal change since 2001, they contributed less and only in recent years. This study highlights unique features of East Asia’s low fertility, such as continued fertility decline and the long-term negative effects of reproducing generations’ low fertility. Findings might have implications for developing countries experiencing rapid fertility decline.

Tempo distortions were strong, but given the marginal change since 2001, they contributed less and only in recent years. This study highlights unique features of East Asia’s low fertility, such as continued fertility decline and the long-term negative effects of reproducing generations’ low fertility. Findings might have implications for developing countries experiencing rapid fertility decline.","PeriodicalId":45987,"journal":{"name":"Asian Population Studies","volume":"19 1","pages":"289 - 310"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45906831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
