What has been the effect of China's focus on minimal
reproduction as the centerpiece of the country's effort to regulate
population growth? This book tells the full story of "China's
Strategic Demographic Initiative," tracing its evolutions and
assessing its results and significance in the context of China's
socioeconomic development. Early consensus in population planning
gave rise to voluminous rules, massive drives, vigorous
exhortations, varied sanctions, and above all, strict enforcement.
The one child per couple policy begun in 1978-79 stirred up strong
emotional debate both within China and throughout the outside
world. This text demonstrates the approach, scope, and tempo of
China's population planning.
"China's Strategic Demographic Initiative" is presented in three
parts. First, the overall circumstances which helped to shape
China's population planning effort are revealed. Next the startup,
evolutions, and objectives of the Strategic Demographic Initiative
are interwoven with objections and obstacles to implementation.
Finally, the issue of collective intervention in childbearing and
the limits to population planning bring in social and economic
issues. Major lessons are reviewed. An epilogue updates the
direction of China's population planning effort amid continuing
internal dispute over tactics.
