A Note From the New Editors of Demography
Our term as the new coed i tors of Demography, the flag ship jour nal of the Population Association of America (PAA), began on July 1, 2025.We are hon ored by the trust the PAA has placed in us and are delighted that Demography will once again be hosted at Duke University-fol low ing in the foot steps of Ken Land, who served as edi tor from 2008 to 2010, and Phil Mor gan, who coedited the jour nal with UNC's Barbara Entwisle from 1999 to 2001.The…
The impact of the Covid‐19 pandemic on network dynamics among Chinese immigrants in the United States
We use longitudinal data on the social networks of Chinese immigrants in the United States from 2018-2020 to study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on communication frequency and friendship formation. Understanding the pandemic's effect on social networks is important because, while individual social networks are always in flux (Schaefer and Marcum 2017; Sekara, Stopczynski, and Lehmann 2016), they tend to change slowly over time in periods of…
Demography's Changing Intellectual Landscape: A Bibliometric Analysis of the Leading Anglophone Journals, 1950–2020
Much of what we know about the intellectual landscape of anglophone demography comes from two sources: subjective narratives authored by leaders in the field, whose reviews and observations are derived from their research experience and field-specific knowledge; and professional histories covering the field's foundational controversies, which tend to focus on individuals, institutions, and influence. Here we use bibliographic information from all…
Using Social Networks to Sample Migrants and Study the Complexity of Contemporary Immigration: An Evaluation Study
We test the effectiveness of a link-tracing sampling approach—network sampling with memory (NSM)—to recruit samples of rare immigrant populations with an application among Chinese immigrants in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina. NSM uses the population network revealed by data from the survey to improve the efficiency of link-tracing sampling and has been shown to substantially reduce design effects in simulated sampling. Our goals are to…
The impact of two types of Covid-19-related discrimination and contemporaneous stressors on Chinese immigrants in the US South
The global rise of the COVID-19 pandemic has been accompanied by an increase in anti-Asian discrimination with potentially deleterious effects on individuals of Asian descent. In the present study, we examine how two types of COVID-19-related anti-Asian discrimination and other contemporaneous stressors independently contribute to perceptions of stress in a population-representative sample of Chinese immigrants in North Carolina, as well as the m…

Understanding Bachelorhood in Poverty-stricken and High Sex Ratio Settings: An Exploratory Study in Rural Shaanxi, China
Coupled with the social practice of female hypergamy, the male surplus within the never-married population means that today's Chinese marriage market is extremely tight in particular for men from a rural background and the least privileged socio-economic categories. Drawing on quantitative data from a survey conducted in 2014-2015, this article sheds light on the situation of single men who are past prime marriage age in three rural districts of …
Sampling migrants from their social networks: The demography and social organization of Chinese migrants in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
The streams of Chinese migration to Africa are growing in tandem with rising Chinese investments and trade flows in and to the African continent. In spite of the high profile of this phenomenon in the media, there are few rich and broad descriptions of Chinese communities in Africa. Reasons for this include the rarity of official statistics on foreign-born populations in African censuses, the absence of predefined sampling frames required to draw…
Sexual Mixing in Shanghai: Are Heterosexual Contact Patterns Compatible With an HIV/Aids Epidemic
China’s HIV prevalence is low, mainly concentrated among female sex workers (FSWs), their clients, men who have sex with men, and the stable partners of members of these high-risk groups. We evaluate the contribution to the spread of HIV of China’s regime of heterosexual relations, of the structure of heterosexual networks, and of the attributes of key population groups with simulations driven by data from a cross-sectional survey of egocentric s…

An Increasing Socioeconomic Gap in Childhood Overweight and Obesity in China
We used a new conceptual framework that integrates tenets from health economics, social epidemiology, and health behavior to analyze the impact of socioeconomic forces on the temporal changes in the socioeconomic status (SES) gap in childhood overweight and obesity in China. In data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey for 1991 to 2006, we found increased prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity across all SES groups, but a greater in…
Stickiness of respondent-driven sampling recruitment chains
Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is an increasingly popular chain-referral sampling method. Although it has proved effective at generating samples of hard to reach populations—meaning populations for which sampling frames are not available because they are hidden or socially stigmatized like sex workers or injecting drug users—quickly and cost-effectively, the ease of collecting the sample comes with a cost: bias or inefficiency in the estimates …
Job Mobility and Extramarital Sex in Reform-Era Urban China: Evidence from Shanghai
The rise of extramarital sex in China is often portrayed as a consequence of a normative shift, that is, the diversification of family and related values that has accompanied the country's move toward a less ideologically controlled society. We argue that the increase in extramarital sex is not only the result of a normative shift but also has been structurally determined by a reorganization of the labor market. We view job mobility, which was st…
An Empirical Analysis of the Impact of Recruitment Patterns on RDS Estimates among a Socially Ordered Population of Female Sex Workers in China
Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a method for recruiting 'hidden' populations through a network-based, chain and peer referral process. RDS recruits hidden populations more effectively than other sampling methods and promises to generate unbiased estimates of their characteristics. RDS's faithful representation of hidden populations relies on the validity of core assumptions regarding the unobserved referral process. With empirical recruitment…
Les préférences de fécondité à Shanghai dans un contexte de basse fécondité
La Chine fait partie du groupe des pays à faible fécondité avec un indicateur conjoncturel de fécondité de l'ordre de 1,4 à 1,6 enfant par femme. Les spéculations sur l'avenir de la fécondité en Chine dépendent en grande partie de ce que sont les souhaits et les intentions de fécondité des individus, comparés aux objectifs de l'État. S'ils sont largement supérieurs, un relâchement des restrictions en matière de planification des naissances pourra…
Below Replacement Fertility Preferences in Shanghai
China has joined the group of low-fertility countries; it has a TFR somewhere in the range of 1.4 to 1.6. Much speculation about China's future fertility depends on whether individual's fertility intentions and preferences are much higher than the state's fertility goals. If so, then a relaxation of family planning restrictions could lead to a substantial fertility increase. We directly ask a probability sample of Shanghai registered residents an…
Masculine sex ratios, population age structure and the potential spread of HIV in China
There is much speculation regarding the contribution of Chinaâ s changing demography to the spread of HIV/AIDS. We employ a bio-behavioral macrosimulation model of the heterosexual spread of HIV/AIDS to evaluate the roles that Chinaâ s unique demographi

Modelling the spread of HIV/Aids in China: The role of sexual transmission
The study presented here is an exploration of the implications of patterns of sexual behaviour for the spread of HIV in China, using a bio-behavioural macrosimulation model. To reflect the uncertainty surrounding key parameters, analyses of varied scenarios are used to show a range of possible outcomes consistent with variations in selected biological and behavioural inputs. The latter are estimated from a nationwide survey of sexual behaviour re…
Adaptation of a Political Bureaucracy to Economic and Institutional Change Under Socialism: The Chinese State Family Planning System
In China, the transformation from a centrally planned economy to one dominated by market forces has been characterized by the devolution of authority from the center (Beijing) to localities. This is as true of the enormous state bureaucracy associated with the control of fertility as it is with the economic bureaucracies more often studied in transitional societies. Using observations from several field sites, the authors document how county-, to…
Has the Chinese Family Planning Policy Been Successful in Changing Fertility Preferences
Has the Chinese family planning policy been successful in changing fertility preferences
Has China’s strict one-child policy been successful in changing fertility preferences? Using linked data from surveys conducted in four counties of northern China in 1991 and 1994, we compare reproductive behavior against prior fertility preferences and show when and where women change from wanting to not wanting more children. The acceptance of policy-sanctioned family size follows a development gradient and reflects the degree of enforcement. H…
Are births underreported in rural China? Manipulation of statistical records in response to China’s population policies
Under the current family planning policy in China, the criterion for evaluating all parties involved in the birth planning system provides an incentive for everyone to see that the policy is met, either in reality through strict enforcement of family planning regulations, or statistically through manipulation of statistical records. We investigate underreporting of births in four rural counties of northern China, using data from a 1992 sample sur…
Socioeconomic background and war mortality during Vietnam's wars
To understand the experience of North Vietnamese soldiers and civilians during the American war, I explore the paths leading Vietnamese men into battle by considering the relationship between socioeconomic status and war mortality. I use data obtained from retrospective information on kin survival and other socioeconomic characteristics given by respondents in the 1995 Vietnam Longitudinal Survey conducted in Vietnam’s Red River Delta. My finding…

Mortality in Vietnam, 1979–1989
Little is known about past and present mortality in Vietnam, as the first official data on mortality have only recently become available from censuses taken in 1979 and 1989. Using these data, I estimate Vietnamese mortality during the intercensal period using two techniques that rely on age-specific growth rates from two successive age distributions. Intercensal emigration and differential completeness of census enumeration associated with massi…
