It has been a mystery how high Chinese fertility is in the 1990s.Using education statistics from Ministry of Health,which are independent of statistics from population-related departments,this paper assesses levels and patterns of underreporting in the 2000 census,thus estimating China’s fertility in the 1990s.Upon adjustment according to the education statistics,age-sex structure of population aged 0-9 of the 2000 census is reconstructed,which is then converted into annual number of births in 1991-2000,and fertility rates in the 1990s are reproduced.Estimates show that China reached replacement fertility in 1991,and had below-replacement fertility after that.China’s total fertility rate in the late 1990s stood at 1.7-1.8.
