Reviews

Scharping artfully creates a mosaic of details drawn from a wide array of loosely connected primary and secondary sources on the sensitive topic of birth planning.. <br>-Susan Short, Brown University <br>... perhaps the most significant study of China's population policies and demographic issues since Judith Banister's China's Changing Population. This book supersedes and doubles the length of his 1999 edition... Highly recommended.. <br>-Choice <br> Scharping delivers a solid reference that deserves space on the shelf of family planning scholars.. <br>-Studies in Family Planning <br>

'This is a fascinating book, rich with information and insights ... an important contribution to our understanding of the demography of China. I recommend it not only to demographers interested in China but also to anyone insterested in the details of the formulation and enforcement of government policies.' - Population Studies<br><br>'Scharping's book proves to be a very important work on topics of Chinese fertility, birth control, eugenics, public policy and development, migration, population, and ethnicity.' - China Information
