In Singapore many parents both work, and children are taken care of more by their maids than their parents. Some kids are pretty spoilt; demanding, bossy.etc, I think partly because the maid is subservient and they can boss them around. This film gives some idea (if dramatised):

Kids with poor parents are better, but they are more money-minded.
In Singapore, both rich and poor parents expect children to study hard and excel in tests and exams. Expect children to be successful in adulthood eventually.

In Asia, children are one of many things that gain or lose parents' "faces"
As with money, good-looking clothings, expensive jewelry and luxury houses. Well-behaved, smart and talented, good-looking children gain "faces" for face-conscious Asian parents.

Less demanding and bossy, do things on their own instead of relying on others.

Rich kids are less desirable for anyone looking for a good spouse.

Hmmm, I don't know, if anything it often seems working class or poorer parents are more likely to be pushy, want their kids to succeed. Stereotypically the wealthy parents shower their kids with things but are emotionally distant but of course that isn't always true.

Well that depends how much money they can bring to the marriage themselves too...
