AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a demographic study of a Chinese urban community over a fifty-year period to measure social and political change. Specifically, changes in family structure, marriage, patterns of post-marital residence, and fertility are examined by triangulating data from interviews, questionnaires, and archival research. One finding is that fertility increased despite the increase in women's work outside the home, education, and independence which is contrary to common expectations of modernization theory.
