Contemporary Social Issues in East Asian Societies

While the balance between private and public sectors are based primarily on the experiences of the wealthy societies in Western Europe and North America, the global reach and increased political weight of East Asian economies is bound to influence other societies as well. Contemporary Social Issues in East Asian Societies: Examining the Spectrum of Public and Private Spheres focuses on modern highly developed East Asian societies and their social issues, particularly ones that are related to family, institution and health. By examining the modernised global society and its connectedness, this book is a vital resource for researchers, students and academicians interested in the distinctive features connected with local, social and cultural traditions of East Asian society.
