第四屆「陳紹馨社會學講座」（Chen Shao-hsing Memorial Lecture）
題目：Family and Inequality: “Diverging Destinies” in East Asia
在理解東亞地區家庭變遷與社會經濟不平等的樣態時，源自美國與歐洲的理論框架究竟具有多大的適用性？本演講將試圖回應此一問題，透過：（一）綜整一項關於東亞家庭行為中社經差異的合作性文獻回顧；（二）統整數篇近期針對日本家庭人口行為與兒童福祉之社經差異的研究成果。
How relevant are theoretical frameworks developed in the U.S. and Europe for understanding patterns of family change and socioeconomic inequality in East Asia? I seek to address this question by (a) summarizing a collaborative review of socioeconomic differentials in family behavior in East Asia and (b) synthesizing the results of several recent papers on socioeconomic differences in family demographic behavior and children’s well-being in Japan.
