Intergenerational transmission of marital violence among rural migrants in China: evidence from a survey in Shenzhen / Feldman, Marcus W; Jin, Xiaoyi; Yang, Ting   Journal Article
Jin, Xiaoyi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Using data from a survey of rural migrants of P district in Shenzhen in 2013, this article explores marital violence among rural migrants. It investigates whether immigrants who witnessed interparental violence or experienced physical violence during childhood are more likely to be emotionally or physically violent in their own marriage. It also finds that the prevalence of mutual violence between rural migrant couples is significantly higher than unilateral violence, and emotional violence is the most common type of marital violence. Witnessing interparental violence in childhood increases the likelihood in adulthood of perpetrating both emotional and physical violence for females but only of emotional violence for males. There is a correlation between experience of physical abuse during childhood and perpetration of physical or emotional abuse during adulthood.

Male marriage squeeze and inter-provincial marriage in Central : evidence from Anhui / Liu, Lige; Jin, Xiaoyi; Brown, Melissa J; Feldman, Marcus W   Journal Article
Liu, Lige Journal Article

Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract Since the 1990s, inter-provincial female migration for marriage has become important in central and eastern rural China. Using survey data from X County in rural Anhui Province, we explore the arrangement of inter-provincial marriages, as well as the characteristics of husbands and wives, marital satisfaction and marital stability for these marriages. We find that inter-provincial marriage is an important option for local men to respond to the marriage squeeze and the increasing expense of marriage. It helps to relieve the shortage of marriageable women in the local marriage market. Because this kind of marriage is based on economic exchange, but not affection, it is often subject to a higher risk of marriage instability, and can lead to such illegal behaviors as marriage fraud and mercenary marriage.
