Filial Piety and the Structural Weakness of Public Institutions

 Brief points from chat on Friday : 

• - The practice of leaving the home country to work, then returning to the home country to care for family, is an idiom / workflow / norm.
• - This may be associated with the tradition of filial piety from Confucianism.
• - The prioritisation of the Family Unit leads to deprioritisation of Public Institutions, on a grand scale.
• - This results in specific economic structures.
