Research on foreign domestic workers’ experiences utilizing healthcare services remains scarce, especially on their communication with ethnic-discordant healthcare providers. By invoking Street’s ecological model (2003), this research elicits foreign domestic workers’ perspectives and seeks to identify how organizational and cultural factors shape their perceptions of communication with healthcare providers. Thirty female foreign domestic workers participated in semi-structured interviews. They reported that their communication with healthcare providers was susceptible to language-related issues and perceived power distance, which were embedded within the cultural context. Additionally, foreign domestic workers’ narratives confirmed that time constraints and types of healthcare settings, within the organizational context, affected their engagement in medical consultations. These findings support that culturally- and organizationally-pertinent factors affect foreign domestic workers’ perceptions of medical consultations. Intervention strategies to improve communication between foreign domestic worker patients and healthcare providers are recommended.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45675,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science","volume":"53 2","pages":"Article 100196"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143950453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We studied the planning and governance structure of the smart city plan, vis-à-vis the motivations, experiences, and responses to urban development in poor communities. We interviewed men and women from different livelihood, age, and class groups to answer the following questions: (a) How do masculine identities and roles shape entrepreneurial modes and processes of urbanization? Specifically, how is urban governance gendered? (b) How does urban development reinforce, reconfigure, or alienate masculine identities? We argue that while technocratic business masculinities are reinforced in an age of neoliberal urbanization, the spurring of privatized smart enclaves and knowledge economies threaten the identities of working-class men and their gendered experience of belonging in the city. The masculinization of urban elite networks accompanied by the feminization of the civil society further enables exclusionary modes of city governance to operate. This is brought about through the tokenizing of poor communities’ participation in planning processes and a manufacturing of cohesion through the appropriation of technocratic and evidence-based approaches by elite networks that typify technocratic masculine ideals, as opposed to the ‘feminine’ affective and consultative strategies employed by civil society groups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45675,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science","volume":"53 2","pages":"Article 100197"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143894913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on narrative inquiry, this study foregrounds the personal stories and reflections of the involved with the movement, understanding their motivations, experiences, as well as the larger implications that accompany the decision to \"lie flat.\" The study uses qualitative interviews in various urban centers in China to bring to light the sensitivity with which young people are re-envisaging work, success, and independence in the wake of contemporary pressures of life. The findings reveal an intricate landscape of resistance, resignation, and creative adaptation in which \"lying flat\" is not just a story of withdrawal but becomes a statement about personal agency and social critique. This tendency is signaling a huge problem in discourse related to labor, leisure, and the meaning of a fulfilled life, contesting the unsustainable demands towards the younger generation. Implications of this study extend to policy makers, educators, and societal stakeholders that ask us to reflect on the values which define success and achievement.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45675,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science","volume":"53 2","pages":"Article 100198"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143892144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
