Discuss gender roles within Asian American families
What will be an ideal response?
Gender roles tend to be traditional in many Asian American families, but vary by social class, country of origin, and length of residence in the United States. For example, both Korean and Vietnamese immigrant women have almost always worked outside the home, but those in later generations have created a more gender-balanced family environment, such as men's greater participation in housework, instead of following traditional gender roles where all housework is the woman's responsibility. Because Filipino culture historically has had a less patriarchal gender role structure than other groups, husbands and wives tend to have egalitarian relationships.
