Marriages in Earlier Periods of Taiwan Marriages were early, universal, and arranged by
older generation to continue family line, increase family labor, provide old-age security, extend social networks, and facilitate financial transfers between bride’s and groom’s families
Embedded in this multi-generational family context, marriage was not oriented toward satisfying individual or spousal interests or desires

Changes in Mate Choosing and Age at Marriage
Parents today rarely control children’s choice of mate – Mere 12.4% of couples who married before 1970
chose their own spouse– It rose to 42.15% for those who married in 1990s
Both men and women now marry later in life course– In 1970, average age at first marriage was 28.2
for men and 22.1 for women– By 2005, average age at first marriage had risen
to 30.6 for men and 27.4 for women, and the increase was particularly marked among high-educated women

Changes in Attitudes toward Marriages (2/2) Less people believe marriage’s main purpose is
to continue family line– 2006 Taiwan Social Change Survey (TSCS),
Only 18.8% agreed that “one should have at least a son to sustain the male lineage”
49.5% agreed “that is not necessary to have a child after marriage”
Marriages has become more fragile– In 1980, crude divorce rate was 0.76– By 2010, it had jumped to 2.51

Continuities with Beliefs in Marital Matching (1/3)
It is common view that men should marry women who are younger, less educated, and of lower socioeconomic status– 2006 TSCS,
More than half of the respondents (52%) agreed that a groom should be older than his bride, while only 16% respondents disagreed
![Page 15: Changes in the Outer and Inner Facets of Marriages in Taiwan 于若蓉 劉育昇 調查研究專題中心中央研究院人文社會科學研究中心.](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022012310/5697bff81a28abf838cbf0a6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Continuities with Spousal Role in Marriage (2/3)
Wife’s and husband’s role in family labor– 2006 TSCS
With regard to the statement that “the husband should be the breadwinner and the wife the homemaker,” 52.1% of the respondents agreed with it, while only 37.4% disagreed
![Page 16: Changes in the Outer and Inner Facets of Marriages in Taiwan 于若蓉 劉育昇 調查研究專題中心中央研究院人文社會科學研究中心.](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022012310/5697bff81a28abf838cbf0a6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Continuities with Patrilateral Norm (3/3) Kinship obligations retain a patrilateral tilt
– With respect to married couples and their parents, financial transfers flowed primarily from married sons (and their spouses) to sons’ parents
– Co-residing with husband’s parents was quite common in Taiwan, while co-residing with wife’s parents was rare

Preliminary Observations (1/2) According to PSFD conducted in early 2000s
– Husbands averaged 6.2 hours of housework per week and their wives 19.8 hours
In 2007 follow-up,– Both men and women had reduced their
domestic workload slightly– But gap between men and women remained
almost unchanged, even when couples with husbands aged 65 or above were excluded

Preliminary Observations (2/2) Women employed outside home do fewer hours of
housework than women who did not work outside home
However, percentage of housework performed by wives, regardless of couples’ work status, remains virtually the same across groups– When neither spouse works, wives contribute 74.7%– When both work, wives contribute 72.9%– When husbands do not work but wives do, wives
still contribute over 70% Pattern of a heavier housework burden for wives has
become stronger among the youngest cohorts

Key Explanatory Variables Relative resources ~ relative resources hypothesis
– Difference between husband’s and wife’s income

Gender ideology ~ gender ideology hypothesis– Answer to “husband breadwinner-wife
homemaker” question, in 1-5 scale

中央研究院人文社會科學研究中心 調查研究專題中心
Findings (1/3) In relative/wife’s housework equations,
– Relative resources hypothesis partly supported Wives with relatively higher income are more
likely to lighten their housework, either in absolute or relative terms
However, educational differences do not exhibit significant effects
– Gender role ideology sustains For families holding more traditional attitudes
toward gender roles, there is a less egalitarian division of housework
![Page 31: Changes in the Outer and Inner Facets of Marriages in Taiwan 于若蓉 劉育昇 調查研究專題中心中央研究院人文社會科學研究中心.](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022012310/5697bff81a28abf838cbf0a6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
中央研究院人文社會科學研究中心 調查研究專題中心
Findings (2/3) Husband’s housework load is invariant to
changes in spousal resources or gender beliefs Cohort effects
– Wife’s housework share is significantly lower for older cohorts than younger ones
– Possible explanation Women who self-select into marriage at a
younger age might be those who were most likely to adopt existing norms of marital allocation, and thus prone to take relatively more housework

Findings (3/3) Years of marriage exhibit nonlinear effects Woman with Mainlander husband tend to engage
in less housework If wife’s father is more educated, wife tends to
take less domestic work With child aged 6 or younger, both spouses’
housework load is heavier Co-residing with wife’s parents tends to lessen
both wife’s and husband’s housework Couple residing in more urbanized areas tends to
have lower housework hours

Preliminary Observations from Past Studies Yi and Yang (1995) found a gradual shift toward
greater egalitarianism Yi et al. (2000) and Xu and Lai (2002) found
support for norms of gender equality that were significantly associated with sharing of marital power
Chu and Yu (2010, Chap. 6) found that wife’s relative resources significantly increased her relative power in regard to decisions regarding savings and investment, housing and moving, and purchasing high-priced commodities, but not those involving daily expenditures
![Page 35: Changes in the Outer and Inner Facets of Marriages in Taiwan 于若蓉 劉育昇 調查研究專題中心中央研究院人文社會科學研究中心.](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022012310/5697bff81a28abf838cbf0a6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Preliminary Observations from 2006 TSCS Concerning marital power related to the allocation
of daily expenditures, purchasing of high-priced commodities, and disciplining children – Regardless of spousal working statuses or type
of decisions, joint decision-making is the modal type
– Wives usually have more say except when purchasing high-priced commodities

Differences in Measures of Variables Economic statuses of spouses in original families
are used instead of parental education Spousal working statuses are used in place of
working hours Total family income is defined by household’s total
income, with both labor and non-labor incomes included

Findings (1/3) Resource theory is supported
– Higher education of husband leads to a decrease in wife’s power in all aspects
– Better economic condition of wife’s original family leads to greater power over daily expenditures on wife’s side
Gender role hypothesis does not hold– Gender ideology variable insignificant in all
equations

Findings (2/3) Birth cohort dummies only exhibit minor effects in
daily expenditure and child discipline equations Wife’s power in child discipline in 2006 is higher
than in 1996 Inverted-U relationship between power and
marital duration in daily expenditure equation is similar to findings in housework equations

Findings (3/3) Having a Mainlander husband or holding a market
job tend to enhance wife’s power regarding daily expenditures
Higher family income is detrimental for wife’s power concerning high-priced commodities, but presence of a child is beneficial
Existence of a son tends to reduce wife’s power in child discipline
Co-residing with wife’s parents tends to enhance wife’s power, but co-residing with husband’s parents has opposite effect

Conclusions (1/2) Cohort dummies exhibit monotonic effects in
housework share equation – Wife’s housework share has become heavier for
younger cohorts – Our explanation is that women married young
might be those who were more compliant with existing practice of marital allocation, and thus are willing to take more housework
Cohort effects in other equations are almost insignificant– Internal division of marriage have not changed
much across cohorts

Conclusions (2/2) Co-existence of different facets of marriages in
Taiwan looks irreconcilable How to explain?
– Traditional patriarchal practices between married couples may discourage more highly educated women from entering marriage
– Men can search for a spouse in China or elsewhere in Asia in order to realize aspirations for a more traditional marriage
– Women dissatisfied with traditional marriage may stay single or married late
