The Family and Social Change in Chinese Societies
The casual reader picking the book up in a library or being persuaded to buy it by the title alone might think that this is a book about (the People's Republic of) China. (That is, if demographers
The Death of the West
Much has been written about the 'Death of the West', a demise threatened by the low level of reproduction in Western countries. That fate is contrasted unfavourably with the rapid growth of the populations and economies of less developed countries, and the prospect of the numerical and political marginalization of the formerly dominant developed world. We believe that trends in European fertility have been misunderstood and that, with effort and …
Fertility in China
As one of the world's two population 'billionaires', the future of China's population is truly of global significance. With its very low fertility and a rapidly ageing population, it might appear that the country's famous (or notorious) family planning restrictions are somewhat anachronistic. Here, we explore the process of reform seen over the past three decades and, most recently, in late 2013. We suggest that the popular notion that the family…
Very Low, Low and Heavy Weight Births in Hong Kong Sar
Identification of modifiable factors and mediators linked to low and heavy birth weight is crucial in reducing infant mortality and health care expenditure. The present paper explores the associations of socio-demographic factors and immigrant status of parents with adverse pregnancy outcomes in Hong Kong. The analysis compares very low birth weight (VLBW
Modelling the macroeconomic impact of future trajectories of educational development in Least Developed Countries
China's Family Planning Policies
In November 2013, China announced reforms to its family planning policies whereby couples would be allowed to have a second child if either parent is an only child. The announcement garnered worldwide media coverage, and stimulated academic and popular discussion. We explore the context of the 2013 reforms, including the economic, demographic, and political motivations behind them, and speculate on their likely effect. Noting that the impact of t…
Remeasuring ageing in Hong Kong SAR; or ‘keeping the demographic window open’
Maternity migration' and the increased sex ratio at birth in Hong Kong SAR
The sex ratio at birth (SRB) in Hong Kong SAR (Special Administrative Region) has recently increased dramatically. Using a data set (N = 850,331) of all recorded births in Hong Kong between 1995 and 2009, we calculated SRBs by parity and immigrant status. The findings indicate a strong son preference among Mainland Chinese who have travelled to Hong Kong to give birth, especially at parity two or above. Logistic regression models show that this t…
Spatial Variation of Sub-national Fertility Trends in Austria, Germany and Switzerland
Sub-national trends in fertility are of great importance for policy makers and regional planners. This paper aims to provide a theoretical and empirical framework for policy makers, taking into account past and present trends in fertility, as well as their theoretical underpinnings. These will, we argue, be crucial in determining future trajectories and potential political responses to them.The theoretical part of the paper deals with the factors…
The Religious Composition of the Chinese Diaspora, Focusing on Canada
The religious composition of the Chinese Diaspora varies by countries with the highest Christian share in the Philippines (86 percent) and the highest Buddhist share (84.3 percent) in Cambodia. The religiously unaffiliated are more likely found in Vietnam (74.7 percent), Canada (70.1 percent), and Austria (63 percent) and less likely found in the Philippines (0.6 percent) and Malaysia (1.5 percent). A further analysis of high-quality Canadian cen…
The Impact of the 1783 and 1785 Stamp Duty Acts on Scottish Vital Registration
Almshouse Residency in Nineteenth Century England
This article presents some preliminary findings from the FACHRS almshouse project. Led by Anne Langley and advised by Nigel Goose, a substantial team of volunteers has set out to trace and record pertinent information on almshouses during the period 1500 to 1914 in an attempt to create the first academic history of the institution. The project is envisaged to develop in three strands. Firstly, the creation of a comprehensive gazetteer of Britain'…
