SUMMARY:Paul Chang (Harvard University)
DESCRIPTION:<p class="MsoPlainText">	<strong>Reinventing Family: The Rise of Non-Normative Households in South Korea</strong></p><p class="MsoPlainText">	<em>The dramatic transformation of family patterns in advanced capitalist societies has received much attention in both academia and popular media. The empirical trends characterizing demographic transition include later age of first marriage, low fertility rates leading to rapidly aging societies, and the prevalence of diverse family structures: single-parent families, cohabiting and same-sex couples, interethnic marriages, and unmarried single-person households. The relatively positive appraisal of “modern families” in the West stands in stark contrast to the public discourse on family change in East Asia, where the dominant tenor can be better characterized by alarm and anxiety. Drawing on the case of South Korea, this book project employs a historical macro-structural framework that makes explicit the consequences of economic modernization and political democratization for the contemporary demographic crisis. </em></p>
