Optimized Random-Combinations of Total Fertility Rates and Life Expectancies at Birth for Probabilistic Population Projections
Examining the impact of culturally responsive teaching and identity affirmation on student outcomes: A mixed-methods study in diverse educational settings
Effect of sense of self on nonsuicidal self-injury in college students: A regulated mediating model
Frustration, mediated by sense of self, increases the risk of nonsuicidal self-injury, and this relationship is moderated by the impulsive-negligent social problem-solving style. Sense of Self is a necessary but not sufficient condition for nonsuicidal self-injury, indirectly influencing such behavior through frustration triggered by stress events
Incorporating biomarkers into the study of socio-economic status and health among older adults in China
The social gradient in health - that individuals with lower SES have worse health than those with higher SES- is welldocumented using self-reports of health in more developed countries. Less is known about the relationship between SES and health biomarkers among older adults residing in less developed countries. We use data from the ChineseLongitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) longevity areas sub-sample to examine the social gradient in h…
A Policy Analysis on Challenges and Opportunities of Population/Household Aging in China
Toward deeper research and better policy for healthy aging – using the unique data of Chinese longitudinal healthy longevity survey
The objectives of this review article are to facilitate deeper research and better policy analysis for healthy aging, which not only means surviving to old ages in good health, but also mean the economics and society of our country would be aging healthily, with sound policy and intervention programs. Toward these objectives, we introduce the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), which has been conducted by Center for Healthy Agi…
A New Classification of Function and Disability in China: Subtypes Based on Performance-Based and Self-Reported Measures

Association of Birth Weight with Health and Long-Term Survival up to Middle and Old Ages in China
Challenges of population aging in China
Utilizing the most recent census and survey data as well as the new ProFamy method, this paper presents and analyzes the trends of challenges of population aging and elderly living arrangements in China in the first half of twenty-first century. It discusses the serious challenges and related policy recommendations concerning the old-age insurance program in rural China
The association of childhood socioeconomic conditions with healthy longevity at the oldest-old ages in China
Based on unique data from the largest-ever sample of the Chinese oldest-old aged 80 and older, our multivariate logistic regression analyses show that either receiving adequate medical service during sickness in childhood or never/rarely suffering from serious illness during childhood significantly reduces the risk of being ADL (activities of daily living) impaired, being cognitively impaired, and self-reporting poor health by 18%–33% at the olde…
Options for Fertility Policy Transition in China
This article compares five currently debated scenarios for fertility policy transition in China, in terms of their implications for future population growth and population aging, the proportions of elderly living alone, labor force trends, pension deficits, economic costs, the marriage squeeze, and other socioeconomic outcomes. Based on these comparative analyses, the author concludes that China needs to begin a gradual modification of its fertil…
U.S. Family Household Momentum and Dynamics: An Extension and Application of the ProFamy Method
A new method for correcting under-estimation of disabled life expectancy and an application to the chinese oldest-old
This article demonstrates that disabled life expectancies that are based on conventional multistate life-table methods are significantly underestimated because of the assumption of no changes in functional status between age x and death. We present a new method to correct the bias and apply it to data from a longitudinal survey of about 9,000 oldest-old Chinese aged 80–105 collected in 1998 and 2000. In our application, the age trajectories of di…
Association of late childbearing with healthy longevity among the oldest-old in China
Statistical analysis of a large and unique longitudinal data-set demonstrates that childbearing after age 35 or 40 is associated with survival and healthy survival among very old Chinese women and men. The association is stronger for women than for men. The estimates are adjusted for a variety of confounding factors: demographic characteristics, family support, social connections, health practices, and health conditions. Further analysis based on…
Adjusting period tempo changes with an extension of ryder’s basic translation equation
We show that the observed changes in the period tempo of fertility are biased and derive a new formula for adjusting such bias. We present illustrative applications of our proposed method to the cases of the United States and Taiwan. We then describe the relevance of adjustments of observed period fertility tempo for evaluating family planning programs aiming at delaying and reducing births to slow down population growth in developing countries. …
Functional Capacity and Self–Evaluation of Health and Life of Oldest Old in China
This study is based on survey data from a sample of 8,805 elders aged 80–105 in 22 provinces of China. Rural oldest old are significantly more active in daily living than urban oldest old; adaptation is perhaps the major explanation of this difference. Female oldest old are seriously disadvantaged in functional capacities and self–reported health as compared with their male counterparts. Percentages of being active in daily living, having good ph…
Sociodemographic and Health Profiles of the Oldest Old In China
Unique data from a 1998 healthy longevity baseline survey provide demographic, socio-economic, and health characteristics of the oldest old, aged 80-105, in China. This subpopu-lation is growing rapidly and is likely to need extensive social and health services. A large majority of Chinese oldest old live with their children and rely mainly on children for financial support and care. Most Chinese oldest old had no or very little education. Abilit…
A Demographic Analysis of Family Households in China, 1982-1995
Analysis based on censuses and mini-census data shows that while the nuclear family household was the mainstream in China in the 1990s, extended family households with 3+ generations also constituted a substantive proportion: 19.4% and 18.3% in 1995 and 1990, respectively. A large majority of elderly men (69%) and women (75%) lived with their children. As compared with the early 1980s, in the 199.0s, the number of one-person households decreased;…
A sensitivity analysis of the bongaarts-feeney method for adjusting bias in observed period total fertility rates
Our sensitivity analysis shows that the adjusted TFR(t) using the formula of Bongaarts and Feeney (1998), which assumes an invariant shape for the fertility schedule, usually does not differ significantly from an adjusted TFR(t) that allows the shape of the fertility schedule to change at a constant annual rate. Because annual changes in the shape of the fertility schedules often are approximately constant except in abnormal conditions, the Bonga…
The Healthy Longevity Survey and the Active Life Expectancy of the Oldest Old in China
China offers an unparalleled opportunity for studies on the 80+ population of a developing country because its population is so large and the age reporting of Han Chinese and most other ethnic minority groups appears to be generally reliable. ...The general design of the project is to conduct a national longitudinal survey with a sample size of more than 9000 oldest old in three waves: 1998 2000 and 2002. The survey includes both individual and c…

A simple method for projecting or estimating α and β: An extension of the Brass Relational Gompertz Fertility Model
Regional analysis of divorce in China since 1980
This paper estimates and discusses divorce measures in China and its 30 provinces since 1980. The propensity for divorce in China increased 42% between 1982 and 1990. Substantial increases in divorce were observed in all provinces except Xinjiang and Shanxi. We found a fairly strong regional pattern of divorce in China: Divorce rates were lowest on the east coast and in eastern areas, highest in the northwest and the northeast, and moderate in th…

Changes in Family Structure in China: A Simulation Study
A simulation model used to study the effects of changing demographic factors on family size and structure in China indicates that average family size declined 10% between 1950-70 and 1981 dropping from 4.90 to 4.37 persons per family. The proportion of nuclear families in the 1981 simulation (51.3%) dropped from the 1950-70 level (72.2%). Both of these changes result largely from declining fertility. The majority of Chinese families (about 90%) c…
Is Fertility in China in 1991-92 Far Below Replacement Level
In this article it is shown that the extremely low fertility rates reported in China – well below replacement level – derived from the Chinese Survey in 1992 are false. Serious under-reporting of most recent births in China was caused by various factors, among them high pressure on officials to achieve the birth control targets set, the design of the questionnaire, and the employment of family planning workers as enumerators. The most likely valu…
Leaving the Parental Home: Census-based Estimates for China, Japan, South Korea, United States, France, and Sweden
Using the iterative intra-cohort interpolation procedure, this article tries to remedy the lack of data on home-leaving by providing an international comparison of estimated census-based single-year age-specific net rates of leaving home for males and females in China, Japan, South Korea, United States, France, and Sweden. It demonstrates that large differences in the age pattern of leaving the parental home between the East Asian and the Western…

The Impact of Urbanization and Delayed Childbearing on Population Growth and Aging in China
Urbanization and delayed childbearing in China are likely to reduce future national birth rates and significantly slow population growth for 2 reasons. First urban residents are apt to continue to have substantially lower fertility rates than rural residents. In addition urbanites tend to give birth at older ages and may be more receptive to government efforts to further delay childbearing. These relationships are examined using a multi-regional …

Migrations in the Urban-Rural Hierarchy of China: Insights from the Microdata of the 1987 National Survey
After presenting a brief account of the societal context of China, the authors use the microdata of the 1987 National Population Survey to study the migration behaviors of Chinese people in the mid-1980s. The authors' main concern is with the effects of the government migration policy, and the focus is on the migrations in the city/town/rural hierarchy. There are two main findings. First, although the migration policy resulted in a very low migra…

A Demographic Decomposition of the Recent Increase in Crude Birth Rates in China
The triple standardization method was used to estimate the separate effect of changes in age structure marriage pattern and marital fertility on the crude birth rate in China. The decomposition method is described. Data were from the 1982 Census the 1987 1% Population Survey and the 1988 2/1000 Fertility and Contraceptive Survey. Single-year age data for 1981 and 1987 were estimated nationally and for each province based on the 1982 population ce…
Changing Demographic Characteristics and the Family Status of Chinese Women
The model developed in this paper extends Bongaarts's nuclear family model into a general one that accounts for both nuclear and three-generation families, and which is expected to be more widely applicable. In the paper a simulation and comparison of two cohorts of women who are assumed to live out their lives under demographic conditions of China in 1950–70 and 1981 is presented. The status distribution and expected years spent in different par…
