Research Abstract |
The following matters have been clarified. Firstly, while ‘transnational marriage in East Asia’ includes various problems, it contributes to strengthen relationship and solidarity between countries/areas in East Asia in a long term. In the second, structural characteristics of this transnational marriage can be understood in two functional dimensions: human and familial ‘reproduction’, and ‘global householding’. Thirdly, this transnational marriage vitalizes human resources in a society, especially in a local society which have accepted couples of this marriage, and on the other hand, brings about socio-economic vitalization and change in a local society where a woman of this marriage comes from.
