I seek to address this question by (a) summarizing a collaborative review of socioeconomic differentials in family behavior in East Asia and (b) synthesizing the results of several recent papers on socioeconomic differences in family demographic behavior and children\u2019s well-being in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-94fd6d856fb933beab7c8421aaf883fe\"><strong><em><span style=\"color: #921818;\" data=\"#921818\" class=\"qubely-text-has-color\">About the Speaker<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">James Raymo is Professor of Sociology and Henry Wendt III \u201955 Professor of East Asian Studies at Princeton University. At Princeton, he is also the director of the Office of Population Research, the founding director of the Global Japan Lab, and the faculty director of the Strategic Partnership between Princeton and the University of Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raymo is a social demographer whose research focuses on documenting and understanding the causes and potential consequences of demographic changes associated with low fertility and population aging, with a particular focus on Japan. His published research includes analyses of marriage timing, divorce, recession and fertility, marriage and women\u2019s health, single mothers\u2019 well-being, living alone, family change and social inequality, employment and health at older ages, and regional differences in health at older ages. He currently serves as a co-director of the international community of scholars called Research on East Asian Demography and Inequality, on the editorial boards of leading journals, and was as the vice-president of the Population Association of America in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"595\" height=\"842\" src=\"https:\/\/sociology.ntu.edu.tw\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u6d77\u5831.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11405\" style=\"width:910px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sociology.ntu.edu.tw\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u6d77\u5831.png 595w, https:\/\/sociology.ntu.edu.tw\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u6d77\u5831-495x700.png 495w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title\uff1aFamily and Inequality: \u201cDiverging Desti [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"qubely_global_settings":"","qubely_interactions":"","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[73,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcement","category-info-on-home-page"],"qubely_featured_image_url":null,"qubely_author":{"display_name":"iamadmin","author_link":"https:\/\/sociology.ntu.edu.tw\/en\/author\/iamadmin\/"},"qubely_comment":0,"qubely_category":"<a href=\"https:\/\/sociology.ntu.edu.tw\/en\/category\/info-on-home-page\/announcement\/\" rel=\"category tag\">News &amp;
