London.: Routledge.. Second edition.. 2009.. xii + 212pp, notes, bibliography, index, paperback. This new, and fully updated 2nd edition of Families in Asia provides a unique and comparative analysis of family trends in Asia by focusing on the most relevant and significant aspects of family and kin, from the process of dating to the impact of economic development on homes and family life as they are experienced across East and Southeast Asia.

As a detailed sociological analysis of family relations and family life in Asia, the main themes of this book are: a macro-level analysis of family trends based on demographic and survey data and the role of the state and social policy; and a micro-level analysis of home and kin situations based on extensive empirical fieldwork. Arranged thematically and with chapters on:

* family research
* family formation
* parenthood
* grandparenting
* gender roles in families
* marital breakdown
* the impact of socio-economic development

Families in Asia will be the perfect companion for students and scholars alike who are interested in family sociology, public and social policy, and Asian society and culture more broadly. .
