Weighing the Options: Past Experience and New Ideas Epilogue: The Population Census of November of 2000
This comprehensive volume analyzes Chinese birth policies and
population developments from the founding of the People's Republic
to the 2000 census. The main emphasis is on China's 'Hardship
Number One Under Heaven': the highly controversial one-child
campaign, and the violent clash between family strategies and
government policies it entails. Birth Control in China 1949-2000
documents an agonizing search for a way out of predicament and a
protracted inner Party struggle, a massive effort for social
engineering and grinding problems of implementation. It reveals how
birth control in China is shaped by political, economic and social
interests, bureaucratic structures and financial concerns. Based on
own interviews and a wealth of new statistics, surveys and
documents, Thomas Scharping also analyzes how the demographics of
China have changed due to birth control policies, and what the
future is likely to hold. This book will be of interest to students
and scholars of modern China, Asian studies and the social
sciences.
