The Limits and Consequences of Population Policy
Most of China's fertility decline predates the famous One Child Policy — and instead occurred under its predecessor, the Wan Xi Shao, or Later, Longer, Fewer (LLF) campaign. Studying LLF's contribution to fertility and sex selection behavior, we find that LLF i) reduced China's total fertility rate by 0.95 births per woman (explaining 30.6% of its fertility decline), ii) doubled the use of male-biased fertility stopping rules, and iii) promoted p…
Population sex imbalance in China before the One-Child Policy
Most research on population sex imbalance in China has focused on the One-Child Policy era. However, because much of Chinaâ s fertility decline occurred during the 1970s, we investigate the possibility that sex ratios began rising during this period (as pre
Spending patterns of Chinese parents on children's backpacks support the Trivers-Willard hypothesis
Exodus from Hunger
This article examines the long-term health consequences of China's 1959-1961 famine by comparing people who stayed in Guangdong and endured the famine with people who crossed the border to immigrate to Hong Kong and thus escaped the famine. Based on data from the Hong Kong Panel Study of Social Dynamics (HKPSSD) and the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), we focused on two health indicators-body mass index (BMI) and self-rated health (SRH)-of the …
The impact of sent-down movement on Chinese women's age at first marriage
Chinese womenâ s age at first marriage increased for more than three years on average during the short period between 1970 and 1979. Demographers attributed it to the 'later, longer, fewer' family planning policy of the 1970s whereas some sociologists sugge
Malnutrition, Sex Ratio, and Selection
Identifying the intergenerational effects of the 1959–1961 Chinese Great Leap Forward Famine on infant mortality
Assessing the impact ofin uteroexposure to famine on fecundity
This study identifies a significant increase in sterility among rural, but not urban, Chinese women who were conceived and born during the 1959-61 famine that resulted from the Great Leap Forward. Applied to data from two large-scale, nationally representative, sample surveys of Chinese women of childbearing age conducted in 1997 and 2001 by the State Family Planning Commission, difference-in-differences analysis revealed that exposure to the fam…
Prenatal malnutrition and subsequent foetal loss risk
Scientists disagree on whether prenatal malnutrition has long-term influences on women's reproductive function, and empirical evidence of such long-term effects remains limited and inconsistent
Dynamics of Inequality
In this study, the authors analyze the dynamic relationship between Chinese women's education, their utilization of newly available medical pregnancy care, and their infants' mortality risk. China has undergone enormous social, economic, and political changes over recent decades and is a novel context in which to examine the potential influence of social change and technological innovation on health disparities. The authors consider efficacy, or …

Does Famine Have a Long-Term Effect on Cohort Mortality? Evidence From the 1959–1961 Great Leap Forward Famine in China
Using retrospective individual mortality records of three cohorts of newborns (1954–1958, 1959–1962 and 1963–1967) from a large national fertility survey conducted in 1988 in China, this paper examines the effect of being conceived or born during the 1959–1961 Great Leap Forward Famine on postnatal mortality. The results show strong evidence of a short-term (period) effect of the famine, caused directly by starvation or severe malnutrition during…

Does son preference influence children's growth in height? A comparative study of Chinese and Filipino children
Research has demonstrated that son preference has a serious impact on the survival and well-being of female infants and children in some parts of South and East Asia, but little is known about the consequences of son preference in later childhood and adolescence. We compare children's growth trajectories in height over childhood and adolescence in China, where the level of son preference is relatively high, and the Philippines, where it is relati…
