Report

"A wide-ranging and detailed collection." Times Higher Education Supplement

"For students and those who want a single overall picture of Chinese population issues, this work provides a short, readable, and comprehensive guide. In short, this is an invaluable book." Population Studies

"Perhaps the most comprehensive English-language review of China s population to date ... Of special value to students and researchers of China is the book s documentation of population policies, programmes, regulations and their changes, which are rarely available in the English language with such clarity. The contributors, looking from inside out , are clearly among the most qualified to review the administrative facets of China s population ... This book is timely, informative and comprehensive, and is an especially useful reference for non-Chinese readers to assess the latest patterns, views and issues of population in China."
