Professor Ma Yinchu's New Population Theory was widely criticised
and discredited in the early years of the People's Republic of
China. However, in 1979, the Chinese government began to accept his
hypothesis that the country could not afford more than a 2%
increase in population and agreed that the population must be
controlled. As a result, the government began setting out campaigns
to promote single-child families and measures to curb fertility in
an attempt to reduce the rate of natural births. First published in
1980, H. Yuan Tien's study demonstrates the major changes that took
place in China in 1979, how the acceptance of New Population Theory
affected the country as a whole and what policies were likely to be
put into place as an after-effect. This title will be of interest
to students of Asian Studies and International Politics.
