520			_aYoung Chinese couples have been asked by the Chinese government to have no more than one child. The single-child family runs directly contrary to the dictates of Chinese culture, but the government is determined to make it a reality. This book explores the reasons for this stringent policy and the difficulties which its implementation entails. It examines the ways in which individual couples now make or vary their fertility decisions, showing how these are affected by the interaction between the single-child family programme with its incentives and disincentives and pre-existing economic and social determinants of fertility. The importance of this attempt to transform demographic trends in the world's most populous nation is self-evident. The single-child family has attracted more attention than any other recent development in China and this is the first book entirely devoted to the subject.
