Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea and Hong Kong SAR are
among the very lowest-fertility countries in the whole world, and
even China has reached fertility levels lower than those in many
European countries. If these levels continue over long periods East
Asia will soon face accelerating population decline in addition the
changes in age distributions in such populations raise major new
questions for planning of economic and social welfare.
This book brings together work by noted experts on the low
fertility countries of East Asia with an up-to-date analysis of
trends in fertility, what we know about their determinants and
consequences, the policy issues and how these are being addressed
in the various countries. Its role in bringing together information
on policy trends and initiatives of a pro-natalist kind adopted
over recent years in these countries is extremely important, as is
the fact that the discussion of these pro-natalist policies is set
in the context of a thorough analysis of what has driven fertility
so low in these countries.
Ultra-Low Fertility in Pacific Asia is invaluable to students
and scholars of East Asian public and social policy, as well as
fertility studies more generally.
