The demographic future of Asia is a global issue. As the biggest
driver of population growth, an understanding of patterns and
trends in fertility throughout Asia is critical to understand our
shared demographic future. This is the first book to
comprehensively and systematically analyse fertility across the
continent through the perspective of individuals themselves rather
than as a consequence of top-down government policies. Special
introductory chapters provide context to the key themes of 'son
preference' and the relationship between fertility preferences and
broader theories of fertility transition. Exploring fertility
through the lens of preferences, international researchers and
leading academics discuss themes relating to family size,
contraception use, and the roles of indicators such as education
and income, as well as sub-national variation. Covering the
experiences of more than one-third of the global population over 22
territories, this book explores the heterogeneous experience of
Asia, home to some of the highest and lowest fertility rates in the
world. Understudied countries such as Brunei, Papua New Guinea and
Timor-Leste have new and revealing fertility data examined. This is
the go-to reference guide for scholars, students and policymakers
who are concerned with Asia's demographic future. Scholars of
demography, reproductive health and family planning will find this
a comprehensive insight into the future demography of Asia.
