Ultra-Low Birth Rate in East Asia: Crisis Discourses and Collaborative Responses

The purpose of the conference is to deeply consider how young women (and their female and male counterparts) across East Asia are inadvertently, in some cases, and intentionally in others, challenging socio-cultural, gender, labor, family and national-cultural norms and expectations. We will look closely as well at how feminist movements across East Asia are finding common cause with each other, participating in new forms of dialog about the unequal, and unremunerated, responsibilities for “care work.”
