Since 1949 Taiwan and China have been governed by different
political regimes. Nevertheless, research shows that women in both
societies now enjoy significantly higher social status and have
lower fertility rates. No systematic empirical research has
compared the two. This book is designed to investigate the effects
of women's status on fertility and sterilization behaviors in these
two areas by means of multi-level analysis focusing on women's
education levels and employment status as predictors at both the
individual and aggregate levels. To examine the influence of
enforced policy, in China's models, variables were added about
whether the participants had a government-issued one-child
certificate or had complied with the childbirth quota set by local
authorities. Most results are consistent with our hypotheses.The
findings of this book, particularly the micro-macro linkages,
contribute to an explanation of how higher women's status and lower
fertility rates across the two regimes emerged from both common and
disparate processes. How multi-level investigations of fertility
and women's status could be implemented in other parts of the world
is covered.
