About This Item
Oxford, United Kingdom: Blackwell Publishers, 2000. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 6" x 9. p/b 291 pages, condition is Very Good. "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.
