This book examines China’s fertility transition over the past seven
decades and explores the socioeconomic impacts of the two-child
policy. The first half of this book highlights the characteristics of
China’s low fertility and the risk of falling to an ultra-low state,
aiming to answer the question: How China’s fertility is changing and
evolving? How low is China’s fertility? What are the demographic
structure, driving forces and institutional characteristics of
China’s low fertility? The second half models the impacts of the
two-child policy on China’s population trends and demands for women,
infant and child health services, and education resources for
preschool, compulsive education, addressing the questions of how the
two-child policy affects fertility behaviours of Chinese women,
particularly the second-child fertility? How would the two-child
policy impact China’s future population trends, particularly labour
supply and population aging? What are the consequences for obstetrics
and gynaecological services, paediatrics and childcare services; and
for school capacity and demand for teachers over compulsory education?
The book will be an essential read for students and scholars of
Chinese studies, population and demography studies, and those
interested in contemporary China.
