During industrialization, a strong ideology of familism in South Korea played an important role in establishing families as a safety net for their members and thus required a very limited amount of governmental support for families. But in the post-industrial age, families began to deal with high demands of rapid economic growth and modernization in the country. These changes have led to serious challenges for Korean families and family relationships.

Relationship violence is linked with a host of negative outcomes for women and men. Child Trends' latest research brief, Relationship Violence Among Young Adult Couples, used data collected in 2001 from both women and men to examine physical relationship violence and threats of physical violence among heterosexual young adult couples in the U.S. Specifically, our researchers analyzed reports from both partners in married, cohabiting, and longer-term dating relationships to identify relationship characteristics that are linked to violence among young adults.
