Closing a Sociodemographic Chapter of Chinese History
In: Population and development review, Band 41, Heft 4, S. 681-686

At its recent Fifth Plenary Session held in Beijing, the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to abolish the one‐child policy and allow all couples to have two children, thus closing an important chapter of China's social and demographic history. Recent fertility trends make it clear why it is urgent to abandon this policy. Census and survey data show that China's TFR had already fallen below replacement in 1991. Since the mid‐1990s, TFRs in most years have been lower than 1.5 children per woman. Since 2010, even lower fertility rates have been recorded by the annual population change surveys. Since the mid‐1990s, fertility decline has been increasingly driven by generalized ideational changes resulting from the social, economic, and cultural transformation of recent decades. In recent years many couples who were entitled to have a second child have chosen not to do so. For this reason, the termination of the one‐child policy is unlikely to lead to a major upturn in fertility, but rather to the continuation of a low‐fertility regime with more diverse fertility patterns across different sub‐populations, a pattern that has been observed in many countries.

Towards a better understanding of past fertility regimes: the ideas and practice of controlling family size in Chinese history
In: Continuity and change: a journal of social structure, law and demography in past societies, Band 21, Heft 1, S. 9-35
ISSN: 1469-218X
Thanks to the progress that has been made in the study of population history, it has been gradually accepted that fertility in historical China was only moderate in comparison with the recorded high fertility. However, scholars still disagree on whether the Chinese could have intentionally controlled their family size. This article first summarizes recent findings about fertility patterns in historical China. Then the author provides further evidence of people limiting their family size in the past, before discussing the impact of traditional beliefs on people's fertility behaviour and summarizing the antinatalist ideas and suggestions put forwarded by Chinese officials and intellectuals over China's long history. This evidence is then used to comment on a number of suggestions that have been made about China's traditional reproductive behaviour and culture. The article challenges the views that people's reproductive strategies aimed in the past to maximize the number of surviving offspring and that the demand for children (or sons) was always high in historical China.

Registered Households and Micro-Social Structure in China: Residential Patterns in Three Settlements in Beijing Area
In: Journal of family history: studies in family, kinship and demography, Band 26, Heft 1, S. 39-65
ISSN: 1552-5473
A large amount of research on Chinese households has been undertaken since 1980. However, problems existing in Chinese household registration and their impact on collecting household data have not been fully appreciated. Furthermore, most published studies have concentrated on the composition of households, while kinship relations beyond households have not been adequately investigated. This article starts with a description of China's household registration and its connection with the census and survey data collection. Then, problems of household registration and their influence on the study of Chinese households are investigated on the basis of field research. Finally, village kinship networks are examined in order to shed further light on micro-social structure in rural China.
Coresidential Patterns in Historical China: A Simulation Study
In: Population and development review, Band 26, Heft 2, S. 263-293
ISSN: 1728-4457
The controversy regarding China's historical residential patterns is related to the lack of investigation into demographic influences on past kinship structures and household formation. This study uses computer micro‐simulation to examine demographic feasibility of people living in large multi‐generation households under the demographic conditions close to those recorded in Chinese history. It investigates both the composition of households in which individuals live at a particular point in their life course and the transition in their household structure and the length of time they spend in households of different types. The simulation exercise suggests that demographic regimes and household formation systems similar to those operating in China in the past produce diverse residential patterns, in which individuals could experience different household forms at different stages of the life cycle.
