The Changing Population of China (Family, Sexuality and Social Relations in Past Times)

About this book

"In this book, top Chinese demographers introduce the reader to Chinese population policy, assess its effects and project future consequences." "This book provides a background to the policy by introducing Chinese history, society and geographical population distribution. The contributors then examine the relation between policy, culture and population in the past and present, and project current trends into the future. The book discusses a wide range of socio-economic impacts of China's demographic dynamics, such as employment, social welfare and urbanization. The book's conclusion extrapolates these trends into longer-term population projections."--BOOK JACKET.
