Defining Family Boundaries.
ML-SAAF results show that Filipinos tend to think more expansively about family than Koreans. The majority of Filipino respondents chose all possible members listed in the survey as their family members, while most Koreans chose cousins to be the last members of their family.

*Note: The results presented here correct a typo in the November newsletter (i.e., 4.49% and NOT 14.49% of youth participants chose parents and siblings as the boundary of their family members). Additionally, the data here presents both youth and parent responses, whereas the data in the November newsletter reflected only youth responses.
