One Quarter of Humanity - Malthusian Mythology and Chinese Realities, 1700–2000

Résumé

The authors argue that there has been effective regulation of population growth in China through practices that depressed marital fertility to levels far below European standards, and through widespread infanticide and abortion. These practices contributed to a different demographic transition in China from the one that took place in the West.
