Chinas Generation Gap Based on data collected for the Generation Gap Survey in - photo 1
Chinas Generation Gap
Based on data collected for the Generation Gap Survey in Shanghai and updated to take into account contemporary trends, this book uses an empirical approach to study the generation gap in China. It covers various aspects of life from professional and family life to political participation and belief systems, analysing and comparing the values held by four different generations. Encompassing more than 2000 case studies and drawing on a wealth of fieldwork interviews, in particular it examines the experiences, thoughts and perceptions of adolescents, young adults, the middle-aged, and the elderly. As the largest sociological survey ever conducted regarding attitudes and value changes by different age groups in Shanghai, it highlights how social change and globalization have impacted on new generations, and the results indicate the dramatic difference and supersession of social ideologies between the generations.
A unique piece of research, shedding light on a changing Chinese society, Chinas Generation Gap will be of huge value to students and scholars of Chinese culture and society, Chinese social policy, globalisation and cultural studies.

The world is focused on all things China these days, and if your interests lie in Chinese culture and generations, this book is for you. It provides new insights into the societal changes that have taken place over the last four decades, includes colorful examples of Chinese language, and makes an invaluable contribution to generational research and understanding modern-day China.
China is one of the largest, most populated, and oldest civilizations in the world, marked by centuries of cultural continuity and tradition. At times in its history, China has been a dominant economic power in the world, but has also fallen into decline. One of the remarkable events of recent times has been the relatively rapid rise of China from Mao Tse-Tungs hardline, highly controlled communist regime to the second largest market economy in the world. The move toward a market economy was launched by Deng Xiaoping in 1978 and continues into the twenty-first century. Dramatic but destabilizing, the prediction is that when the pace of social change accelerates and shifts in opposite directions, the age groups or generations that grew up under sharply contrasting circumstances will have difficulty understanding and relating to each other, thereby increasing the likelihood of generational misunderstanding and conflict. The idea of the generation gap is a long-standing and compelling one in world literature. From ancient times into the twenty-first century, much has been made of clashing age-group differences, animosities, and confrontations by philosophers, theologians, politicians, novelists, scholars, and journalists. Cooler heads, however, need to prevail to put an accurate perspective on generational differences and relations. With its emphasis on the scientific method, research, and empirical evidence, this is where social science has much to contribute in sorting out fact from fiction and reality from myth.
