Economic Disadvantage and the Family: Implications of Foreign and Local Studies

Daniel T.L. SHEK

LAI Man Fei

Department of Social Work, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

This paper examines the foreign and local literature on the impact of unfavorable economic conditions (such as poverty, unemployment and financial strains) on the family. With specific reference to families with adolescent children, the impacts of economic disadvantage on: a) the physical and mental health of the parents; b) marital relations between the parents; c) parenting practices and parental behavior in the socialization process of their children; d) family interactions and functioning; and e) the psychosocial adjustment of children are examined. The available literature generally suggests that economic disadvantage affects parental health and the quality of marital relations, which in turn negatively affects parenting behavior and family functioning. These impaired family processes eventually affect the adjustment of the children in a negative manner. The implications of the literature review are discussed.

Towards the "Third Way" of a Family Policy?

Sammy CHIU

Associate Professor, Department of Social Work, Hong Kong Baptist University

Angel CHAN

Teaching Assistant, Department of Social Work, Hong Kong Baptist University

This paper examines the social policy principles proposed by the Labour Government of the United Kingdom, generally called the "Third Way" The authors critically discuss the ideology of New Labour, and focus their discussions on the family policy of the New Left. It is argued that the idea of extending social democracy and social justice from the traditional public domain to the family may be regarded as a progressive measure. However, the extent to which this policy could actually enlarge social equality, especially between genders in the family, without committed support from the state is very much in doubt.
