Predicting death quality from life prior to death among older Chinese in a retrospective cohort study
Background: The pursuit of a good death is crucial in aging societies. This retrospective cohort study investigated the relation between life prior to death and quality of death among older Chinese. Methods: End-of-life data reported by relatives of participants (aged 54 and over) from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) who deceased between January 2011 and June 2019 were utilized. Life prior to death included health condit…
The Chinese Strategy for Actively Responding to Population Ageing
The course of population ageing in China has unique features, and the country’s fundamental national conditions, development path and governance model impose special requirements on the country’s response. A path with Chinese characteristics that actively addresses this issue is urgently needed. The Chinese strategy is built on solid foundations, comprising the governance paradigm advantage of “one core and multiple components”; the structural ad…
Strategic Changes and Policy Choices in the Governance of China’s Aging Society
Population aging has become normal in Chinese society, but the existing governance models and institutional arrangements still lack a structured and systematic response and adaptation, and the corresponding governance research has also encountered difficulties. Policy choices for the governance of China’s aging society should be based on “Chinese characteristics,” which should be developed into “Chinese advantages” in order to achieve a transform…
Coping with population ageing in mainland China
In reviewing the major factors driving the ageing process in mainland China, this commentary argues that population ageing itself is neither good nor bad. Instead, the main obstacles to dealing with the challenges of aging in China are not only ‘being old before being rich' but also ‘being not ready to get old.' The commentary discusses how China's shrinking labour force coupled with an ageing population may be partially offset by improvement in …
Household changes in contemporary China: An analysis based on the four recent censuses
This paper analyzed China’s household changes based on data from China’s past four censuses of 1982, 1990, 2000, and 2010. The data showed that there was a rapid increase in the number of family households, a continued shrinking in household size, and a trend of simplification in household structure. The proportions of the one-couple household and the two-generation standard nuclear household presented the largest rise and the largest fall, respe…

China’s Demographic History and Future Challenges
On 28 April 2011, China’s state statistics bureau released its first report on the country’s 2010 population census. The report states that the total population of mainland China reached 1.3397 billion in 2010, with an annual average population growth rate of 0.57% during the previous 10 years. The share of the total population aged 0 to 14 declined from 22.9% in 2000 to 16.6% in 2010, whereas the proportion aged 65 and above grew from 7.0% to 8.…
Harvesting the Demographic Bonus: The impact of migration in Shanghai
This paper summarizes and analyses the preconditions for harvesting the demographic bonus as well as the corresponding situations in urban and rural China. This paper introduces an overlapping generation model to illustrate the effects of decline in fertility rate and immigration on the demographic window. Based on the case of Shanghai, it is argued that internal migration is the bridge to match the conditions of harvesting demographic bonus in b…
Future Prospects for Population Development in Shanghai: A population carrying capacity analysis
This study analyses the future goals of population development in Shanghai from the viewpoint of population carrying capacity and ecological footprint. The population carrying capacity is one of the fundamental factors researchers and policy-makers need to take into account in managing and planning the development of a country or a region. This study focuses on the case of Shanghai, based on previous ecological footprint analysis, and builds a co…
Chinese Traditional Medicine and Abnormal Sex Ratio at Birth in China
A study of the abnormal sex ratio at birth in China reveals that it is not an entirely new phenomenon that emerged since the 1980s, but is simply more visible at present. Deliberate intervention to determine the sex of children has existed in the past few decades, at least in certain groups. Apart from modern medical methods, traditional Chinese medical practice is shown to be highly accurate in identifying the sex of a fetus. This may lead to se…

Demographic Consequences of the Great Leap Forward in China's Provinces
This article examines the demographic consequences of Chinas Great Leap Forward--the massive and ultimately unsuccessful drive during 1958-62 to leap ahead in production by mobilizing society and reorganizing the peasantry into large-scale communes. Severe excess mortality and massive fertility shortfalls are documented but with wide variations among provinces and between rural and urban areas. The demographic crisis was caused in the first insta…
