"A wide-ranging and detailed collection." Times Higher Education
Supplement
"For students and those who want a single overall picture of
Chinese population issues, this work provides a short, readable,
and comprehensive guide. In short, this is an invaluable book."
Population Studies
"Perhaps the most comprehensive English-language review of
China's population to date ... Of special value to students and
researchers of China is the book's documentation of population
policies, programmes, regulations and their changes, which are
rarely available in the English language with such clarity. The
contributors, looking 'from inside out', are clearly among the most
qualified to review the administrative facets of China's population
... This book is timely, informative and comprehensive, and is an
especially useful reference for non-Chinese readers to assess the
latest patterns, views and issues of population in China."
