The recent demographic changes in China, from a pattern of high vital rates to a pattern of low vital rates, is the direct effect of the evolution of a people's search for a new social order. The resulting changes in norms and institutions are reflected in three stages of demographic development: Stage One, from the traditional passive Acceptance of the dictates of nature and imperial perogatives; through Stage Two, a transitional phase of social Awakening and institutional reforms; to Stage Three, an emerging sense of collective and mutual Accountability. There are two major distinctions between the current demographic circumstances in China and the Western European countries which inspired the Demographic Transition Theory. First, China's transition from high to low vital rates was not preceded by the conditions of industrialization, urbanization, secular literacy, etc. central to the classic economic model of demographic transition. Second, whereas the European demographic transition was a gradual process of fertility decline as a result of rational individual decision making, China's recent fertility decline was the result of government intervention supported by a political enforcement bureaucracy. Since 1978 the Chinese have launched an unprecedented campaign to limit China's population growth to within 1.2 billion by the year 2000. To be expected, there are certain social and moral contraversies surrounding China's current "one-child" per couple birth quota system. However, viable alternatives to this birth limitation policy elude even its most provacative critics, as China races against time to meet her population limitation targets.
