Recent Changes in Familism in Korea, 2006-2016 -- Comparison of Gender Roles and the Family in Korea, Japan, Taiwan and China -- Stratification and Economic Inequality in South Korea -- Social Networks in the Lives of Korean Adults: Evidence from the KGSS (2012) -- Embedded Work: Expectations and Fulfillment -- Is Civil Society Always Good for Democracy? -- The Big Five Personality Traits and South Koreans' Attitudes toward North Korean Defectors -- Democracy and National Identity in South Korea -- Role of Government and Institutional Trust -- Trust of People and its Associations with Respondents' Community Characteristics -- Social Welfare Attitudes -- Religion and Sexual Attitudes -- Appendix: Korean General Social Survey (KGSS)

This book delves into the values, attitudes, and behaviours of Koreans over the course of the past twenty years. Compiled by leading Korean scholars, the book uses the Korean General Social Survey (KGSS), the most comprehensive source of information detailing recent continuity and change in Korea, and addresses a diverse, wide-range of topics such as nationalism, familyism, social inequality, politics, religion, welfare, trust, attitudes towards North Korea, and attitudes towards sex. These issues, in continuously shaping and influencing the lives of Koreans, deserve further examination so as to fully grasp a deeper understanding of Korean contemporary culture. Each chapter covers an overview of background information about the chapter subject and then compares Korean attitudes to those of other countries, drawing on cross-national data derived from sources such as the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) and the East Asian Social Survey (EASS) It collates this data and then unpacks it to demonstrate trends and how they are impacted by stability or change. Despite the rapid economic development and democratization in Korea, it remains difficult to pinpoint common denominators regarding recent social trends in Korea, and there are surprisingly few books that present a current, nuanced, and empirically substantiated scholarly depiction of Koreans and their social issues. This book fills this gap in serving as an indispensable reference for students and scholars interested in the diverse issues in Korean society.
