Perimenstrual symptoms among Chinese women in an urban area of China
We explored perimenstrual symptoms among 16 Chinese women in an urban area of southeastern China using a retrospective questionnaire, the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ), and a prospective daily symptom diary, the Daily Health Diary (DHD), modified for cultural relevance. Mean scores on the DHD were significantly (p < .03) higher during the perimenstrual phase for the symptoms fatigue, increased sensitivity to cold, increased sleeping, abd…
The Global Distribution of the Overseas Chinese Around 1990
Chinese emigrants began to move to other Asian countries particularly in Southeast Asia thousands of years ago. Large numbers of Chinese migrated to virtually every country of the world during the 19th and early 20th centuries. There were almost 37 million overseas Chinese in 136 countries around 1990 a growth of about 10 million since early 1980 or an average annual rate of 2.7%. At that rate the number of overseas Chinese would double to about …
The Distribution of the Overseas Chinese in the Contemporary World
This article examines the distribution of the overseas Chinese in the contemporary world. Data are analyzed on the numbers of overseas Chinese in six continents and in more than 130 countries and areas from the end of the 1940s to the early 1980s. In the circa 1980 period, there were between 26.8 million and 27.5 million overseas Chinese. Also, the data indicate that the overseas Chinese population has steadily increased in recent decades. The ov…
The One-Child Family
Given the publicity surrounding the single-child campaign in China an important empirical question concerns the current ranking of China vis a vis other countries with respect to single child families. For this study data have been gathered on women with 1 child for the Peoples Republic of China for 1982 and 60 additional developed and developing countries for the period 1970-1982. Nearly 3/4 of the single child rates were based on data from nati…
The one-child family
The campaign for one-child families in the People's Republic of China has created world-wide interest. This study compares the general rates of single-child families in China and in 60 other countries and shows that China's current rate (12.5) is relatively low in comparison with some developed countries, e.g. Hungary (25.0). The mean age-specific single-child rate for 54 less developed countries shows a different pattern from that for seven deve…
Quality of life, intellectual development and behavioural characteristics of single children in China
This paper reports the results of a June 1980 survey of 1069 children in Changsha, Hunan Province. The data have been unavailable previously either in Chinese or in English. In general, they suggest that comparisons of single children with children from multiple-child families in China regarding quality of life, intellectual development, and behavioural traits are similar to comparisons conducted in the United States and other western countries. …
Estimating voluntary and involuntary childlessness in the developing countries
This paper examines rates of marital childlessness in the developing countries of the world and separates them into voluntary, involuntary and related components through a decision-tree model based on fecundity, contraceptive behaviour, pregnancy status, age, years married, and other variables. The principal data are taken from World Fertility Surveys. The conclusion is reached that virtually all of the permanent childlessness in the developing c…
