Book Fertility  Family Planning and Population Policy in China

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 208 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.

Book Redefining Urban and Suburban America

Download or read book Redefining Urban and Suburban America written by Bruce Katz and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2004-05-13 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early returns from Census 2000 data show that the United States continued to undergo dynamic changes in the 1990s, with cities and suburbs providing the locus of most of the volatility. Metropolitan areas are growing more diverse—especially with the influx of new immigrants—the population is aging, and the make-up of households is shifting. Singles and empty-nesters now surpass families with children in many suburbs. The contributors to this book review data on population, race and ethnicity, and household composition, provided by the Census's "short form," and attempt to respond to three simple queries: —Are cities coming back? —Are all suburbs growing? —Are cities and suburbs becoming more alike? Regional trends muddy the picture. Communities in the Northeast and Midwest are generally growing slowly, while those in the South and West are experiencing explosive growth ("Warm, dry places grew. Cold, wet places declined," note two authors). Some cities are robust, others are distressed. Some suburbs are bedroom communities, others are hot employment centers, while still others are deteriorating. And while some cities' cores may have been intensely developed, including those in the Northeast and Midwest, and seen population increases, the areas surrounding the cores may have declined significantly. Trends in population confirm an increasingly diverse population in both metropolitan and suburban areas with the influx of Hispanic and Asian immigrants and with majority populations of central cities for the first time being made up of minority groups. Census 2000 also reveals that the overall level of black-to-nonblack segregation has reached its lowest point since 1920, although high segregation remains in many areas. Redefining Urban and Suburban America explores these demographic trends and their complexities, along with their implications for the policies and politics shaping metropolitan America. The shifts discussed here have significant influence

Book The Impact of the End of One Child Policy on Fertility Desire Among Chinese Women of Reproductive Age

Download or read book The Impact of the End of One Child Policy on Fertility Desire Among Chinese Women of Reproductive Age written by Xiyue Yang and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The controversial birth control policy in China’s history was officially relaxed in October 2015. Using pooled cross-sectional data from Chinese General Social Survey and the identifying strategy of difference-in-differences, this paper builds on previous studies by offering an analysis of the impact of the one-child policy relaxation on fertility desire among Chinese women of reproductive age (18-45). The findings of this study suggest that the policy relaxation may somewhat slow down the overall decreasing trend of female fertility desire, but the slowing effect is statistically nonsignificant, at least not detected by the difference-in-differences strategy used in this paper. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of the one-child policy on women’s desire for children is likely to be structural. Therefore, the lifting of the one-child policy should not be viewed as panacea for low fertility crisis. To alleviate the population problem faced by the country, more supportive policies are highly needed to help address people’s considerations of costs and benefits in terms of both childbearing and childrearing.

Book The Global Family Planning Revolution

Download or read book The Global Family Planning Revolution written by Warren C. Robinson and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The striking upsurge in population growth rates in developing countries at the close of World War II gained force during the next decade. From the 1950s to the 1970s, scholars and advocacy groups publicized the trend and drew troubling conclusions about its economic and ecological implications. Private educational and philanthropic organizations, government, and international organizations joined in the struggle to reduce fertility. Three decades later this movement has seen changes beyond anyone's most optimistic dreams, and global demographic stabilization is expected in this century. The Global Family Planning Revolution preserves the remarkable record of this success. Its editors and authors offer more than a historical record. They disccuss important lessons for current and future initiatives of the international community. Some programs succeeded while others initially failed, and the analyses provide valuable guidance for emerging health-related policy objectives and responses to global challenges.
