My observation is that in Asian cultures there's a pattern of more compliance of young persons, from children to young adults to family pressure - parents and grandparents - than western culture. Thus somewhat explaining why the demographic needle at the FTT has moved so markedly in the past 20 years. One group has more recourse to "go their own way", while the second group has little. With Asian children, family expectations are reinforced by cultural expectations.
