This book presents an in-depth examination of China's population control policies from their establishment to the present and explores the developing implications of these policies on the Chinese labour market. The book connects original research on contemporary Chinese demographics with a historical analysis of China's labour market structure. Using data from the most recent population census, chapters explore the economic impact of the demographic transition that has taken place over recent decades, from the strict implementation of family planning policies to the current easing of these policies. The book examines income growth and economic development in China after the Second World War with comparative perspectives from other Asian countries including Japan and South Korea. It also devotes a chapter to regional variations in the effectiveness of population control policies, exploring differences in rural and urban areas, and surveys the future challenges for the Chinese government in addressing population and growth-related concerns. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in economic history, labour economics, and demography, as well as those interested in Chinese economic and societal development.

"This is a wonderfully written, scientifically sound, and beautifully illustrated book that helped me introduce some mind-bindingly awesome concepts to my four-year-old. Science is like magic, but real." - Anthony V., former 7th and 8th grade physics teacher. The first in a series of IMAGINE SCIENCE storybooks for kids! Introducing the wonders of science with this easy to understand exploration into general relativity that begins on a backyard trampoline. Join Finn + Remy as their simple ball game takes a frustrating turn and papa's explanation does not quite make sense. To answer their question, the trio (plus chicken in a clever disguise) launch into space as astronauts to discover the effects of mass on gravitational forces. The juxtaposition of Earth and moon provides the explanation. Lit against a backdrop of stars and planets in our solar system, this beautifully illustrated book will take you on a cosmic adventure full of imagination. For ages 4-10. The two adorable hedgehog characters are based on real boys bearing the same names created by an inspired mom with an artsy streak and a husband who was a scientist in his previous life. Together, they have pressed pause on the American Dream and are traveling the world to write books they want their children to read.

Finn and Remy are two rambunctious little hedgehogs who got their start gracing the covers of greeting cards (www.finnandremy.com). Join them on an adventure around their hometown and visit their favorite spots, including White Rock Lake, Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, the football stadium, farmers market, State Fair, and more! Written and illustrated right here in Dallas..Finn and Remy live with their parents in Dallas, Texas. Their mom, Jane, loves to draw the boys as little critters and capture their shenanigans in watercolor and ink (follow her and see the funny comic-style illustrations on FB and IG @artbyjanedu). Dad is good at keeping those shenanigans in check.
