“…"But in the beginning of the world, God did them male and female; this is why the man will leave his father and his/her mother and will stick to his wife, and both will make only one flesh. Thus they will not be any more two, but only one flesh" 1 . It thus becomes a social change with time and space.The historical context in the majority of societies indicates that the mixed unions were generally proscribed in favor of the unions endogamy considered as more conventional (Barbara, 1993;Streiff-Fenart, 2000;Deliège, 2006;Collet and Philippe, 2008;Therrien, 2009).…”

Marriage is the union of two peoples and consequently of two families and two cultures. In traditional Chinese society, everybody gets married for the sake of family continuity. This is because bringing forth a child is seen as a contribution to perpetuate family name. It is meant for two as families to seal stronger bonds together. It's therefore observed that, marriage in Chinese Society is conceived for the families rather than for the sharing love. Consequently, the marriage becomes a social construction. The only credible unions with the eyes of the society were those which linked two individuals presenting some similarities from the social, ethnic, racial, cultural and/or religious. The concept of adaptation and the notion of entropy will be employed the theoretical level to show that mixed marriages are the result of complex processes tending to homogenize populations who are from different cultures but who live in permanent contact. To collect the qualitative, we have used the methods of data-gathering, such as documentary review, individual and institutional interview using the guides of interview.

“…Our exploration of the family dimension of contemporary international migration to Great Britain contributes to two debates. First, there is a growing recognition of diverse configurations of family structures within British society (Williams, 2004), such as dual-earner households (Green, 1995;Hardill, 1998;, female-dominated households (Crompton and Harris, 1999), single-parent households (Duncan and Edwards, 2001), same-sex couples (Duncan and Smith, 2004), and mixed marriages (Barbara, 1994), as evidenced by recent analyses of the 2001 Census (Dorling and Rees, 2003). Such societal transitions beg important questions about how international family migration (re)produces familial and gendered diversity within Great Britain, and vice versa.…”

International Family Migration and Differential Labour-Market Participation in Great Britain: Is There a ‘Gender Gap’?

Drawing upon studies of subnational (internal) family migration, in this paper we link international family migration to differential labour-market participation in Great Britain. We extend Kofman's fourfold categorisation of international family migration processes to develop a typology of scenarios that acknowledge the important role of the family. We match scenarios to different outcomes using a subsample of partnered migrants from the Sample of Anonymised Records (SAR) of the 1991 Census. In line with subnational family migration literature, descriptive analyses of the SAR point to a`gender gap' between the labour-market participation of partnered men and partnered women moving into Great Britain between 1990^1991, with males twice as likely to be attached to the labour force compared with women. We contribute to debates on changing family organisation and employment returns to international migration by arguing that the magnitude of this gender gap varies across migration scenario and family structure. In this paper we stress the need for more interchange between international and subnational family-migration scholarship, and provide valuable entrees for analyses of the forthcoming microdata of the 2001 Census.
