TABUCHI Rokuro ; TANAKA Sigeto <http://www.sal.tohoku.ac.jp/~tsigeto/isa14/rc06-s6.html>18th ISA World Congress of Sociology, Pacifico Yokohama, Yokohama, Japan (2014-07-19 08:30)
(International Sociological Association / RC06)
The organizers of this session are active members of the National Family Research of Japan (NFRJ) project. We call papers that facilitate international sharing of quantitative survey data and findings. The official statement of call for papers is the following.
Papers that address family issues using survey data from all over the world are welcome. Preference will be given to national or local data sets especially those from Asia. The mission of session organizers is to facilitate the sharing of national and local data sets and promote future collaboration among participants. Papers that focus on some aspect of balancing family and work demands are especially welcome but other family topics will be considered. Work-family balance needs particular attention especially in societies where people face extremely low fertility rate and underperformance in women in the labor force, as in Eastern Asia.
Although family researchers in all regions worldwide are accumulating more and more micro-level quantitative data on family-related behaviors, sharing that data with researchers from other countries or regions is rare. For instance, in Japan a number of quantitative studies using data from reliable, nationally representative surveys such as NFRJ (National Family Research of Japan) are increasing in number. The sharing of survey data between countries and regions will increase the possibility of comparative studies.

We are mainly targeting on studies of work-life balance in East Asia. However, papers on any topic related to families in any society are welcome, as far as they use quantitative methods.
All authors of the paper should have membership of RC06 (Committee of Family Research). The same restriction applies to all RC06 regular sessions:
(It is usual for other RC/WG/TG sessions not to have such a restriction.)
Submit your abstract (in English, no more than 300 words) and keywords (five or less) via https://isaconf.confex.com/isaconf/wc2014/cfp.cgi. We expect the abstract includes the objective of the paper, information on the method and the data, results, and conclusion.
Deadline is 2013-10-01 00:00 (GMT/UTC). Submission guideline is on the ISA website: http://www.isa-sociology.org/congress2014/how-to-present-a-paper.htm.
You can modify the submitted abstract before the deadline. Remember your ID number and password on the screen during the procedure of the submission.
We will inform you the result by 2013-11-30. Note that we may allocate your paper may to another session, to poster presentation, or to distribution paper, because we can accept only five papers for this session.
