Description

This Routledge academic text investigates the profound impact of China's one-child policy on contemporary family structures, examining how multigenerational households manage childcare responsibilities in urban settings. Using Xiamen as a case study, the author challenges popular assumptions about spoiled "little emperors" by analysing intergenerational parenting coalitions between grandparents, parents and children living in close proximity. The research reveals how traditional family dynamics adapted when parents entered the workforce and grandparents assumed active caregiving roles, providing nuanced insights into social changes across modern China. This scholarly work contributes to anthropological and sociological understanding of family structures, cultural values and demographic policy consequences in contemporary Asian societies.

Key Features

Examines intergenerational family dynamics created by China's one-child policy in urban Xiamen households.

Challenges stereotypes about spoiled children by exploring how multigenerational parenting coalitions function in practice.

Provides empirical research on how grandparents and parents coordinate childcare responsibilities whilst managing modern employment.

Published by Routledge as part of the Contemporary China Series for academic and scholarly readers.
