In this book, top Chinese demographers introduce the reader to
Chinese population policy, assess its effects and project future
consequences.
In the last three decades, the Chinese have conducted the
greatest demographic experiment in human history. They have sought
to curb the growth of their vast population through the
implementation of rigid population policy and programmes. Whilst
helping to keep the population from spiralling out of control, the
policy has also had unwanted consequences including an imbalance of
males to females and the weakening of family kinship and old-age
support networks.
This book provides a background to the policy by introducing
Chinese history, society, and geographical population distribution.
The contributors then examine the relation between policy, culture,
and population in the past and present, and project current trends
into the future. The book discusses a wide range of socio-economic
impacts on China's demographic dynamics, such as employment, social
welfare and urbanization. The book's conclusion extrapolates these
trends into longer-term population projections.
