- Summary
- The study is a documentation on the demographic, psycho-social and perspectives of foreign brides in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and Korea, as these are areas with concentration of foreign brides in Asia. The research aims to identify views and perspectives of women married to locals in countries mentioned above and how do they adapt in such "unfamiliar" situations (with different communities, culture and traditions, beliefs, family values, etc). It will also attempt to answer questions from their own perspective like: what are their surviving mechanisms? Are there available mechanisms in the country/ community in terms of government policies that will help foreign brides to integrate in the newly adapted family, community and society? If none, what do they think is the role of governments in this process?
