Research Interest: Gerontology, population studies, caregiving, minor ethnicity and religion in China (exploring)

I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology with Honours from the National University of Singapore, where my undergraduate dissertation examined intergenerational caregiving practices in four-generation families. This work inspired my interest in how family structures and cultural norms shape caregiving responsibilities and well-being across the life course. Building on this foundation, my research focuses on intergenerational support systems, caregiving arrangements, and health and social outcomes in later life, particularly within East and Southeast Asian contexts undergoing rapid demographic transition. I am especially interested in how ageing, family obligation, and gendered care labor intersect with social policies and institutional support systems. Currently, I am working on a paper investigating the mental-health consequences of spousal caregiving among older adults in China.
