A Study on the Unnatural Deaths and the Related Issues during the Difficult Three Year Period#br# Cheng Enfu,Zhan Zhihua Population Research    2017, 41 (2): 97-112.   Abstract （32296）      PDF （233KB）（19785）       Knowledge map    Save The opinion that 30 million is the number of unnatural deaths during the Chinese Difficult Three Year Period( 1959-1961) is worth deliberating. It can be estimated，with the average death toll from 1955 to 1957 as the normal standard and the missing report of deaths from 1953 to 1964 plus the subsequently modification combined，that there were approximately four to five million people who ex- perienced unnatural deaths during the Difficult Three Year Period. The distributions of unnatural deaths apparently differ largely in regional structure，age structure as well as gender structure. Even though the millions of unnatural deaths is a lesson to reflect upon，still，the efforts the Chinese government made against the famine as well as the achievements they reached should not be obliterated. In addition， there were a series of complicated causes that led to the large number of unnatural deaths，and it is difficult to find out the proper answer only based upon the simple cause ＆effect relationship. Therefore， the discussion of this issue should be done by carrying out specific analyses in specific problems. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Continuity or Change? Chinese Family in Transitional Era Yang Juhua, He Zhaohua Population Research    2014, 38 (2): 36-51.   Abstract （3329）      PDF （807KB）（17917）       Knowledge map    Save  With industrialization，urbanization and modernization, the family institution has inevitably undergone changes. China has witnessed extraordinary social transformations over the past three decades. These forces have jointly brought about profound changes to the family organization. This paper traces the changing trend, patterns and characteristics in family structure, explores the causes of such change, and analyzes its consequences to family relationships andfamily functions in recent years in China. It has found that family size has shrunk，number of generations in the family is reduced，family forms become more diversified, and family relationship remain intimate but distanced. Also, many traditional family functions have been taken over by public agencies，and family norms and culture have been reshaped. While changesoccur in various ways and important challenges remain，the Chinese family has been so far resilient to societal transformation due to its deeply rooted tradition and current structural constraints. These have made intergenerational reciprocity attractive and prevented the Chinese family from decline. In the future, the government and the family have to face challenges brought about by demographic transition, persistently large-scale migration, and changing norms towards the family.

Demographic Consequences of an Immediate Transition to a Universal Two-child Policy Zhai Zhenwu, Zhang Xianling, Jin Yongai Population Research    2014, 38 (2): 3-17.   Abstract （10508）      PDF （723KB）（16400）       Knowledge map    Save Fertility in China dropped below the replacement level in the early 1990s, and has been increasingly lower, arousing intense academic discussion on fertility policy adjustment．This paper estimates the size of objective population that is targeted by the two-child policy after computing the amount of the only children in 2012 based on the data of the 2005 national 1% population sampling survey, and analyzes its impact on number of annual births．The results show that on account of the large number of the objective population covered by the two-child policy and women's strong desire to have the second child，if there was an immediate transition to a universal two-child policy, number of annual births would sharply increase with the peak value up to nearly 50 million and a total fertility rate of about 4.5．However, immediately implementing the two-child policy could significantly retard the negative growth trend of population in the future, increase labor supply and slow down population aging in China． Related Articles | Metrics

Trends in Life Disparity in China since the 1950s: An International Comparison Zhang Zhen Population Research    2016, 40 (1): 8-21.   Abstract （879）      PDF （1182KB）（13528）       Knowledge map    Save As life expectancy has risen spectacularly since the mid-nineteenth century，and at present，is high in many countries，increasing attention has been drawn to life disparity-how much lifespans differ among individuals．Life disparity is important because it measures uncertainty in the timing of death．Reducing this uncertainty increases the value of both private and public investments in education and training，and can factor into life course decisions such as retirement planning and the adoption of healthy behavior．The past six decades have witnessed great improvements in life expectancy in China， particularly since the reform and opening up in the late 1970s．Previous studies have well documented the levels，patterns and regional variations of mortality in China．But so far no study has focused on life disparity．This paper aims to fill in this gap with in-depth analysis of the trends in life disparity of China under comprehensive international comparison．We find that the improvement of life disparity that has been made so far in China can partially be attributed to the China-characteristic healthcare system and health-related public policies． Related Articles | Metrics

The Effect of China’s Family Planning Policy on Women’s Social Status Lu Wanjun, Zhang Binbin Population Research    2016, 40 (4): 21-34.   Abstract （2592）      PDF （221KB）（10326）       Knowledge map    Save This paper assesses the effect of Chinese family planning policy on women’s social sta- tus using data from the 2010 Chinese General Social Survey．Employing regression models by difference-in-difference strategy，the study finds that urban women under the one-child policy have 0．71 more years of schooling than rural women，and the family planning policy also enables the intervention groups to have 1．45 more years of schooling than the control group—ethnic minorities．The family plan- ning policy has obviously promoted gender education equality．With the improvement of female education level，gender income gap began to shrink．But no significant reduction has occurred in the gender gap of return on education．Furthermore，Attitude to division of housework and to marital independence has not significantly changed． Related Articles | Metrics

Dynamic Trend of China's Population Ageing and New Characteristics of the Elderly Yang Hanmo Population Research    2022, 46 (5): 104-116.   Abstract （8042）      PDF （1246KB）（10233）       Knowledge map    Save Based on the 7th National Population Census conducted in 2020 and previous censuses,this study analyzes the current situation and the dynamic trend of China's population ageing. This study first describes the health status, sources of livelihood, living arrangement, and marital status of the older population in general, and summarizes the characteristics of China's population ageing: The speed and depth of China's ageing process have been further strengthened, and the proportion of the elderly population in rural areas becomes higher. From 2010 to 2020, the self-assessed health status of the older people has improved, yet the gap between urban and rural areas is still significant; the proportion of widowed persons among the older people has declined, and the relative proportion of widowed persons is higher in rural areas and among women than their counterparts; the elderly security system is further improved, and the older people are more economically independent with less economic pressure; the phenomenon of “empty nest” is common among rural older people; and those who are unhealthy or living alone are more likely to rely on assistance from the government.

Prevalence and Social Determinants of Premarital Cohabitation in China#br# Yu Jia,Xie Yu Population Research    2017, 41 (2): 3-16.   Abstract （2162）      PDF （214KB）（9591）       Knowledge map    Save Using data from China Family Panel Study in 2014，we examine the prevalence and so- cial determinants of cohabitation in China. Descriptive results show that，although only about 10 percent of Chinese adults born before 1980 cohabited before first marriage，cohabitation has grown sharply among recent birth cohorts. Based on the“developmental idealism”perspective and Chinese social contexts，we propose that ideological changes and institution changes are the major driving forces of the emergence of cohabitation. Multivariate analysis shows that birth cohort，educational attainment，living in urban areas，migration，party membership，and regional development have significant effect on premarital cohabitation. Taken as a whole，our study of cohabitation helps advance our understanding of family changes in China. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Intergenerational Relationships and Their New Changes in Contemporary China#br# Wang Yuesheng Population Research    2016, 40 (5): 33-49.   Abstract （1694）      PDF （290KB）（8218）       Knowledge map    Save Intergenerationalfunctional relationship is an institutional system including obligation，responsibility，right to inheritance，mutual exchange and emotional communication．In the era of the contemporary social transformation，parents spend more money on their children’s education than in the past．Instead，adult children spend less cost to support their elderly parents than in the past．The obligation for adult children to take care of their parents is relatively reduced，but the elderly parents who could not take care of themselves have to mainly depend on their adult children．With the only child growing up，the daughter’s role is increasing in the intergenerational functional relationship，and even has no alternative．On the other hand，as the prolongation of life expectancy and increase of generations of lineal members，this will likely increase the burden of the adult children caring for elderly．Overall，at present，adult children's feedback function has declined and will directly affect the reproductive behavior of couples at childbearing age．The reasons for the weakening intergenerational functional relationship are as follows: social welfare system has played a role as an alternative to son in supporting the elderly，some objective factors have limited the play of family function，subjective consciousness of keeping intergenerational relationships has been weakened，the new institution environment that maintains intergenerational relationships has not been established． Related Articles | Metrics

Choice for China's Population Policy: Lessons from East Asian Region Tang Mengjun Population Research    2013, 37 (6): 77-90.   Abstract （2938）      PDF （543KB）（7828）       Knowledge map    Save It is no doubt that low fertility is now shaping China's population dynamics，and China's population policy is at a crossroad. Singapore，Japan，Korea and Taiwan are quite similar to China in terms of cultural traditions and policy trajectory，and all choose pro-natal policies，yet the results were not satisfactory. The procedures of their policy transition can provide reference for China's policy op- tions. This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the motivation，process and features of policy change in these countries /regions，explains the influencing factors，and compares the characteristics and out- comes of population policy before and after the change. On such a basis，this paper recommends Chi- na to adopt gradual policy transition and reform the supplementary policies in line with population con- trol in order to maintain suitable fertility level.

Motherhood Penalty on Chinese Women in Labor Market Yang Fan, He Yuchen Population Research    2022, 46 (5): 63-77.   Abstract （3397）      PDF （1268KB）（7702）       Knowledge map    Save Using China Family Panel Study ( CFPS) data from 2010 to 2018 and an event-study framework, we explore the impacts of children on the dynamic trajectory of female labor force participation and hours worked. The results show that the arrival of the first child creates a sudden and substantial decrease in the employment and monthly hours worked. The impacts sustain until the child is 4 years old. Within 0 - 3 years after the birth of the first child the employment and the monthly hours worked decreased significantly. Nevertheless, after 4 years beyond the birth of the first child, there is no statistical difference in the employment and monthly hours worked compared with the pre-birth stage. Compared with women, there is no significant impact of children on the labor supply for men.Meanwhile, we provide evidence that the motherhood penalties on labor supply are following the law of diminishing marginal cost. We end with the heterogeneity analyses which show that the college-educated and younger cohorts experience smaller labor supply declines. This study helps understand the magnitude and dynamic trajectory of motherhood penalties in China and provides illumination for the family policy to help women balance family and work and families realize their fertility intention from a perspective of international comparison.

A Study of the Influence of Population Ageing on Labor Force Participation Rate Zhou Zhuping, Liu Haibin Population Research    2016, 40 (3): 58-70.   Abstract （2504）      PDF （232KB）（7125）       Knowledge map    Save  Labor force participation level is important for labor supply and economic growth．Since changing age structure influences the overall labor force participation rate ( LFPR ) ，population ageing plays an important role in explaining differences in LFPR．By comparing age-standardized LFPR among China，Brazil，France，India，Japan and The U. S．，it is found that LFPR level of a young population is considerably higher than that of an older population under the same age-specific LFPR．Using the decomposition method of differences between rates，it is found that in 2013，the LFPR difference between China and Japan is at 12． 1 percentage points，of which 79． 0% is contributed by their age structure difference．Further empirical analysis through both national and international panel data models also indicate that LFPR is significantly negative related to population ageing． Related Articles | Metrics Cited: Baidu(2)

Family Structure and Female Labor Force Participation in China Shen Ke, Zhang Yuan, Yan Ping Population Research    2012, 36 (5): 15-27.   Abstract （4574）      PDF （763KB）（7119）       Knowledge map    Save Employing the 2002 household survey data in 9 provinces in East China，this paper examines the effect of family structure on female and male labor force participation．Constructing regression models with instrument variables to correct for the endogeneity of family structure，our results indicate that intergenerational coresidence significantly increases female labor force participation and weekly working time，while it has no effect on male labor supply．A major reason is that coresidence help to reduce female housekeeping burden through their parents' assistance，which frees up time for work in labor market．These results suggest that decline in intergenerational coresidence in the past two decades could contribute to the more rapid decrease in female labor force participation in China． Related Articles | Metrics
