China, Economic Development and Mortality Decline
Mortality in China 1964-2000
This paper uses data from censuses and surveys to re-estimate mortality levels and trends in China from the 1960s to 2000. We use the General Growth Balance method to evaluate the completeness of death reporting above the youngest ages in three censuses of the People's Republic of China from 1982 to 2000, concluding that reporting quality is quite high, and revisit the completeness of death recording in the 1973-75 Cancer Epidemiology Survey. Est…
The Population of North Korea
Demographic perspectives on China and India
This paper compares levels and trends of population growth rates, age and sex composition, mortality, and fertility including family planning practices in the world's two most populous countries, China and India. Both countries are undergoing demographic transition but China is nearer than India to achieving a stationary population. Fertility in China has declined below replacement level while in India it is nearly one and a half children per wom…
Demographic Perspectives on China and India
Five Decades of Missing Females in China
This paper seeks to explain the dearth of females in the population of China in cohorts born from the late 1930s to the present. We demonstrate that in virtually all cohorts. the shortage of females in comparison with males is revealed when the cohort is first enumerated in a census. Subsequently it barely changes, an indication that female losses occur very early in life. Using the high-quality data from the censuses and fertility surveys in Chi…
Divided Korea: Demographic and Socioeconomic Issues for Reunification
The authors examine and compare changes in the populations of North and South Korea since the post-World War II partition of the country using data released in 1989 by the government of North Korea. Koreas prolonged and involuntary partition poses two basic questions. First to what extent have the social and economic characteristics of the separated populations diverged during their decades under rival polities? Second if a collapse of Communist …
China’s Changing Population
In this comprehensive analysis of thirty-five years of population change in the People's Republic of China, the author highlights China's shifting population policies and pieces together the available data, assessing and adjusting them as necessary in order to discover the actual population changes.

Fertility Policy and Implementation in China, 1986-88
At present China maintains its ambitious goal of not exceeding a population of around 1.2 billion by the year 2000. Given the huge number of women entering the peak childbearing ages during the next decade the attainment of this target requires renewed efforts in family planning. After a period of relaxation in the family planning program since 1986 the national and provincial governments have been tightening up on family planning in order to ach…
China's changing population
An Analysis of Recent Data on the Population of China
From the late 1950s through the 1970s, confusion and disagreement over the basic facts of China's population situation abounded, largely because the Chinese government did not release collected population data. Those few local demographic statistics that were reported covered model units with unusually low mortality and fertility. Official figures on China's population size and vital rates, hinted at in radio broadcasts and newspaper articles, cr…
Mortality in China
these reported crude death rates have almost never been revealed, and the data could have been based on the total number of registered deaths compiled from localities throughout the whole country or only from selected areas of the country. Because of the possibility of serious underregistration of deaths or reliance on an unrepresentative sample of localities, analysts of China's population have been reluctant to take these reported death rates a…
