"Population Problem" in Pacific Asia

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

China's one-child policy, as well as policies to increase fertility in east Asia, are well-known population issues. The "Population Problem" in Pacific Asia explores why fertility is so low, why China's fertility is likely to stay low, and what governments might be able to do to both improve the population situation in their countries and simultaneously better people's lives.
