Fertility, Family Planning, and Population Policy in China
Chinas one-child population policy, first initiated in 1979, has had an enormous effect on the countrys development. By reducing its fertility in the past two decades to less than two children per woman, and developing a family planning program focused heavily on sterilization and abortion, China has undergone a significant transition in status to a demographically developed country.
Fertility, Family Planning, and Population Policy in China brings together contributions from leading scholars on such developments as family planning policy and contraceptive use, biological and social determinants of fertility, patterns of family and marriage, and Chinas future population trends. As such it will be essential reading for academics, researchers, policy-makers, and government officials with an interest in Chinas demography, fertility, and population policy.
