Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several new developments in the economy, government policy, and technology warrant a revisit on the population issue in China. First, in 2015 the Chinese government announced that it would allow couples to have two children. Second, anecdotal evidence suggests that many wealthy and middle-class Chinese are migrating from China to developed countries such as North America, Europe, and Australia. Third, the rapid development in medical sciences and artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing how the elderlies live and are cared for. All these changes call for a revisit on the issues of population in China. We need to carefully re-consider from scientific point of view the following questions: What are the population problems in contemporary China? Is population growth a problem? If it is, in terms of what--population size, birth rates, death rates, age composition (fraction of working age, working, elderly, retired, school age, military age, etc.), sex ratio (at birth), marital status, educational attainment, health, migrant origin, urban-rural, ethnic, reproductive health services, food, water and other critical inputs, waste removal capacity, general environmental situation, etc.? What is the impact of the new two-child policy? What is its effect on fertility rate? Is it effective in slowing down aging? Does it change people's attitude toward having children? What is the impact of Chinese migration on China and the world? What is the magnitude of wealthy and middle-class Chinese migrating to the developed countries? What is the impact of such migration-economic, political, and cultural-on the home country and host country? How does the technological development impact aging in China? Specifically, how does the advancement in medical sciences affect aging in China? How does the development in artificial intelligence and the robot industry affect old age care in China? In sum, how do the above new issues affect the population issue in China, and what policies should we recommend to the government? To address these issues, we publish seven papers in this volume: New Emigration from China: Patterns, Causes and Impacts Regional Determinants of Residential Intention of Migrants in China: Evidence from the Chinese National Migrants Dynamic Monitoring Survey in 2015 Exit and Voice: Mainland China's Talent Policy and Taiwan's Weak Response during the Ma Administration Can One-way permit system alleviate labor shortage in Hong Kong?

Download or read book Male Fertility Patterns and Determinants written by Li Zhang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-19 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the biological, methodological and sociological issues that have caused men to be overlooked in demographic and sociological literature of fertility. It explores the patterns and determinants of male fertility and studies male fertility rates as compared to those of females in 43 countries and places, over time. Data used in the aggregate level analysis come from multiple sources, including the 2001 United Nations Demographic Yearbook, the 1964 to 2004 Taiwan-Fukien Demographic Yearbooks, and National Statistics Reports by the Statistics Bureau of Republic of China. To explore male fertility determinants, the book analyzes individual data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) in the United States. The findings presented here demonstrate that male fertility differs from female fertility in both rates and determinants, which suggests that female fertility cannot fully represent human fertility.

Download or read book Gendered Trajectories written by Wei-hsin Yu and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-26 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gendered Trajectories explores why industrial societies vary in the pace at which they reduce gender inequality and compares changes in women's employment opportunities in Japan and Taiwan over the last half-century. Japan has undergone much less improvement in women's economic status than Taiwan, despite its more advanced economy and greater welfare provisions. The difference is particularly puzzling because the two countries share many institutional practices and values. Drawing on historical trends, survey statistics, and personal interviews with people in both countries, Yu shows how country-specific organizational arrangements and industrial policies affect women's employment. In particular, the conditions faced by Japanese and Taiwanese women in the workplace have a profound effect on their labor force participation at critical points in their lives. Women's lifetime employment decisions in turn shape the divergent trajectories in gender equality. Few studies documenting the development of women's economic lives are based on non-Western societies and even fewer adopt a comparative perspective. This perceptive work demonstrates and underscores the importance of understanding gender inequality as a long-term, dynamic social process.

Download or read book China and Taiwan written by Steven M. Goldstein and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-11-12 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relations between Taiwan and the Peoples Republic of China have oscillated between outright hostility and wary detente ever since the Archipelago seceded from the Communist mainland over six decades ago. While the mainland has long coveted the island, Taiwan has resisted - aided by the United States which continues to play a decisive role in cross-strait relations today. In this comprehensive analysis, noted China specialist Steven Goldstein shows that although relations between Taiwan and its larger neighbor have softened, underlying tensions remain unresolved. These embers of conflict could burst into flames at any point, engulfing the whole region and potentially dragging the United States into a dangerous confrontation with the PRC Guiding readers expertly through the historical background to the complexities of this fragile peace, Goldstein discusses the shifting economic, political and security terrain, and examines the pivotal role played by the United States in providing weapons and diplomatic support to Taiwan whilst managing a complex relationship with an increasingly powerful China. Drawing on a wealth of newly declassified material, this compelling and insightful book is an invaluable guide to one of the worlds riskiest, long-running conflicts.
Download or read book Family Planning in Taiwan written by Ralph Freedman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experimental family planning program begun in 1963 in Taichung, the provincial capital of Taiwan, was the largest intensive program of its kind ever to be carried out for a sizable concentrated population. Its use of systematic observation and measurements was also unique. In evaluating the program and the data gathered, the authors seek to establish the extent to which the decline in Taiwan's fertility level resulted from the program rather than from the changes already underway in the society at that time. Finally, two vital questions occupy them: What has been learned in Taiwan, and how much of this can be applied to other developing countries with rapid population growth? Originally published in 1969. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Download or read book Fertility Family Planning and Population Policy in China written by Chiung-Fang Chang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-12-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's one-child population policy, first initiated in 1979, has had an enormous effect on the country’s development. By reducing its fertility in the past two decades to less than two children per woman, and developing a family planning program focused heavily on sterilization and abortion, China has undergone a significant transition in status to a demographically developed country. Bringing together contributions from leading academics, this book looks at the impact of the government's strict control over planning and population growth on the family, the wider society and the country's demography. The contributors examine developments such as family planning policy and contraceptive use, biological and social determinants of fertility, patterns of family and marriage and China's future population trends. As such it will be essential reading for academics, researchers, policy makers and government officials with an interest in China’s population policy.
