Threatened by another baby boom as the baby boomers of the 1960s are now entering into marriageable ages, the Chinese government fears that any economic advance won by its effort to modernize will be dissipated by the rapid population growth. Thus it embarked on the aggressive and controversial One-Child Family Policy (OCFP). The goal is to stabilize the population around 1.2 billion by the year 2000.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Threatened by another baby boom as the baby boomers of the 1960s are now entering into marriageable ages, the Chinese government fears that any economic advance won by its effort to modernize will be dissipated by the rapid population growth. Thus it embarked on the aggressive and controversial One-Child Family Policy (OCFP). The goal is to stabilize the population around 1.2 billion by the year 2000.
520 $a For a society that is not yet an advanced industrial state, China has done a remarkable job in birth control. Recent reports indicate that the fertility rate has stabilized at or around 2.5 children per women since early 1980s. The success of the OCFP has affected family structure at the micro level and population structure at the macro level. The new family and population structures will in turn affect supply and demand in a welfare state. This study examines the social consequences of the OCFP by macro and micro analyses.
520 $a In the macro analysis, demographic indices are derived from population projections under different total fertility rates. Results indicate that while the dependency ratio will not increase in the next thirty years, the needs for services for the elderly will climb sharply along with the rapid growth of the senior population. Given that the OCFP will dismantle the existing kinship system, which the government currently relies on to provide support to the elderly, a national old age security program is called for. The entering of baby boomers into the work force also implies increasing pressure of unemployment and growing needs for work-related welfare and benefits. Results of the micro study confirm the lack of formal old age support and the widespread concern about how the OCFP threatens people's ability to achieve old age security. Verifications of the demographic transition theory are sought. There is evidence that fertility behaviors and fertility choice are affected by socio-economic factors. Although the forceful implementation of the OCFP is probably the single most important factor that accounts for changes in fertility, in the long run, the Chinese government should strive to achieve modernization and move toward establishing a nation social security system in order to realize long term success in population control.
