520 1 |a "This book presents new evidence about historical and contemporary Chinese population behavior that overturns much of the received wisdom about the differences between China and the West first voiced by Malthus. Malthus described a China in which early and universal marriage ensured high fertility and therefore high mortality. He contrasted this with Western Europe, where marriage was late and far from universal, resulting in lower fertility and higher demographic responsiveness to economic circumstances." 
520 8 |a "In reality, James Lee and Wang Feng argue, there has been effective regulation of population growth in China within marriage through a variety of practices that depressed marital fertility to levels far below European standards and through the widespread practices of infanticide and abortion. Moreover, in China population control has long been primarily a consequence of collective intervention. This collective culture underlies the four distinctive features of the Chinese demographic pattern - high rates of female infanticide, low rates of male marriage, low rates of marital fertility, and high rates of adoption - that Lee and Wang trace from 1700 to today 
520 8 |a These and other distinctive features of the Chinese demographic and social system, they argue, led to a different demographic transition in China from the one that took place in the West."--Jacket
