A Concentrated Demographic Transition

Jane Du

Chapter Chapter 2 in China's Labour Market, 1950–2050, 2024, pp 21-59 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces some perspectives on China’s population policy decision-making process, offering an examination of the repercussions of China’s post-1949 population policies on evolving age structure and labour market supply, particularly within the context of the post-1979 economic transition. Furthermore, this chapter delves into an investigation of the one-child policy, aiming to discern its dual effects, encompassing both positive and negative aspects, on China’s social development and income transition.
