abstract: 'Emphasis placed on Xiao (filial piety) in Chinese culture highlights
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parents'' investment in their children with the expectation of being
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cared for when older. An increasing number of Chinese students come to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the United Kingdom (UK) to study, with the majority returning home and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
likely to become future care-givers for their parents. Little attention
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
has been paid to the implications of transnational mobility of Chinese
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
students on the reciprocal aspects of future care responsibility. With
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the uniquely changing family structure due to consequences of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One-Child Policy, we conducted proactive research on the opportunities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and challenges that Chinese transnational students anticipate they may
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
face in future care-giving for elderly parents. Hence, this study''s aim
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
was to make a novel contribution to knowledge through exploration of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
perspectives of Chinese students in England on intergenerational ties
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and filial obligations. Adopting a social constructivist philosophical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
position, we conducted three focus groups with 19 UK-based Chinese
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
students, using a semi-structured topic guide with informed consent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interviews were translated, transcribed and analysed using reflective
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
thematic analysis, capturing semantic and latent meanings, and employed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a descriptive and interpretative approach. Six themes were discovered,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
revealing a `culture of duty'' where familial obligation and societal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
expectations were prominent. Prospective care-givers anticipated a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
future dilemma between balancing work commitments and providing care as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mandated by Xiao. Furthermore, it appeared that lack of preparedness
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
might further exacerbate barriers faced when accessing support. We
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
surmised that the changing demographics and absence of formal support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
could compound stressors over time, especially if cognitive dissonance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
arises as realities of life do not fit with societal expectations. Our
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
findings imply that policy makers, practitioners and the government will
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
need to adequately support prospective family care-givers who are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
returnees in caring for older generations.'
