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.

What has been the effect of China's focus on minimal
reproduction as the centerpiece of the country's effort to regulate
population growth? This book tells the full story of "China's
Strategic Demographic Initiative," tracing its evolutions and
assessing its results and significance in the context of China's
socioeconomic development. Early consensus in population planning
gave rise to voluminous rules, massive drives, vigorous
exhortations, varied sanctions, and above all, strict enforcement.
The one child per couple policy begun in 1978-79 stirred up strong
emotional debate both within China and throughout the outside
world. This text demonstrates the approach, scope, and tempo of
China's population planning.
"China's Strategic Demographic Initiative" is presented in three
parts. First, the overall circumstances which helped to shape
China's population planning effort are revealed. Next the startup,
evolutions, and objectives of the Strategic Demographic Initiative
are interwoven with objections and obstacles to implementation.
Finally, the issue of collective intervention in childbearing and
the limits to population planning bring in social and economic
issues. Major lessons are reviewed. An epilogue updates the
direction of China's population planning effort amid continuing
internal dispute over tactics.
