A number of Javanese women have taken jobs as migrant workers in Hong Kong. This feminization of migrant workers, specifically informal work, has developed in part because of the established patriarchy in Javanese culture. Little research has been done to analyze the cross-national patterns of domestic worker transformation abroad. This research aims to fill this gap by describing and analyzing how Javanese women construct reality as migrant workers, forming a sense of connectivity with their female peers through networking and interaction. This study uses qualitative research for seventeen Javanese subjects, adopting the phenomenological approach with Foucault’s theory. Conducted in several districts of Hong Kong, this research applied area sampling. This research found that Javanese woman created their own careers by breaking the rules of the established patriarchal system by migrating to Hong Kong. Javanese women assumed self-autonomy and, once in Hong Kong, formed their own local communities. Keywords: Migration, Power, Connectivity, Javanese Women

In Israel, like the rest of Western society, women are still largely responsible for childcare and housework. In homeschooling families, this division is even more prominent. This article explores homeschooling mothers’ perspective on role division. Using the auto-ethnographic-phenomenological approach to qualitative research of individual perceptions and experiences, I recruited a purpose-focused sample of 27 homeschooling mothers. Using interviews and personal logs (or diaries), I obtained data that underwent thematic analysis. The study findings indicate that mothers like being with their kids and that most of them would not want to change places with their partner, but the question arises as to whether there is a real possibility of choosing.

Productive Engagement

Abstract The population aged 65 years and above in Hong Kong is projected to rise from 15 per cent in 2014 to 38.4 per cent in 2069. Therefore, the quest for creating age-friendly conditions and the promotion of active ageing has become a priority for the Hong Kong Government and stakeholders in the city. Using a cross-national comparative framework for productive engagement in later life, this article examines the predictors of productive engagement (perceived voluntary engagement) in two districts (the Islands and Tsuen Wan) of Hong Kong – a typical productivist welfare regime in Asia. Data were collected through a social survey to ascertain the perception of an age-friendly city and active ageing in 2016 and 2018 from 1,638 persons aged 60 years and older. The results indicate some differences in the perception of the key determinants in both districts, but the factors associated with productive engagement were consistent, namely social atmosphere, social provisions and the built environment. The findings are discussed within the broader discourse on social gerontology, age-friendly cities and productivist welfare regimes.

Award-winning Green Preschools in Bali, Berkeley and Hong Kong were selected to explore the characteristics of Green Schools using measures developed by educators (Environmental Rating Scale for Sustainable Development in Early Childhood (ERS-SDEC)) and architects (simplified Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) development). Classrooms for 4- to 5-year-olds were systematically assessed over a 10-month period. A 35 years’ timeline of the Green School movement was produced. The Bronfenbrenner Ecological Theory has been used to frame and analyse this cross-national study. Results indicated striking similarities from both scales that the Green Preschool in Bali received the highest rating followed by Green Preschool in Berkeley and Hong Kong. Three distinct Green School characteristics were found to be: (a) holistic, (b) building and (c) curriculum. The schools’ green characteristics appeared to be influenced by cultures, city regulations and the external institutions that established the green awards.

Children who are a vulnerable group in disasters need special attention to reduce the negative risk of their life. This qualitative research with a phenomenological approach was conducted on children who survived the Mount Kelud eruption. Referring to the research aim and after analyzing the data with Interpretative Phenomenology Analysis (IPA), 6 (six) themes were found, namely: feeling the need to pray a lot, feeling afraid if the kelud volcano erupts again, the more affection for parents, feeling afraid of death, feeling slopes Kelud is the land of birth, and feels uncomfortable in the refuge. From all the themes can be concluded that the children who survived the 2014 eruption of Mount Kelud still felt frightened by the condition of Mount Kelud that might erupt, making them more prayerful and happy to help their parents because they didn't want their parents to be difficult.
