Book Description
This fully updated edition of the China Ethnic Statistic Yearbook, comprised of entirely original research, presents data on the socioeconomic situation of China’s 56 ethnic groups. Although the majority of China’s population is of the Han nationality (which accounts for more than 90% of China’s population), the non-Han ethnic groups have a population of more than 100 million. China has officially identified, except for other unknown ethnic groups and foreigners with Chinese citizenship, 55 ethnic minorities. In addition, ethnic minorities vary greatly in size. With a population of more than 15 million, the Zhuang are the largest ethnic minority, and the Lhoba, with a population of only about three thousand, the smallest. China’s ethnic diversity has resulted in a special socioeconomic landscape for China itself. How different have China’s ethnic groups been in every sphere of daily life and economic development during China’s fast transition period? In order to answer these questions, we have created a detailed and comparable set of data for each of China’s ethnic groups. This book presents, in an easy-to-use format, a broad collection of social and economic indicators on China’s 56 ethnic groups. This useful resource profiles the general social and economic situations for each of these ethnic groups. These indicators are compiled and estimated based on the regional and local data gathered from a variety of sources up to 2016 with up to date analysis. This Yearbook also includes a new chapter on China’s spatial (dis)integration as a multiethnic paradox.

Growing Populations, Changing Landscapes
Author: National Academy of Sciences
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309170729
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
As the world's population exceeds an incredible 6 billion people, governmentsâ€"and scientistsâ€"everywhere are concerned about the prospects for sustainable development. The science academies of the three most populous countries have joined forces in an unprecedented effort to understand the linkage between population growth and land-use change, and its implications for the future. By examining six sites ranging from agricultural to intensely urban to areas in transition, the multinational study panel asks how population growth and consumption directly cause land-use change, and explore the general nature of the forces driving the transformations. Growing Populations, Changing Landscapes explains how disparate government policies with unintended consequences and globalization effects that link local land-use changes to consumption patterns and labor policies in distant countries can be far more influential than simple numerical population increases. Recognizing the importance of these linkages can be a significant step toward more effective environmental management.

The Revolution in Asian Fertility
Author: Richard Leete
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
The countries of Asia, whose combined populations in 1990 totalled 3.1 billion (59 per cent of the world's total), have completed, or are in the midst of, a remarkable revolution in reproductive behaviour - a dramatic shift away from high and relatively uncontrolled child-bearing to a situation where most couples control their reproductive behaviour. This revolution has transcended political, social, economic, cultural, and religious boundaries, and its speed and momentum are historically unprecedented. Partly because of these factors, partly because Asian fertility is a key determinant of world population growth, and partly because the causes of the earlier Western fertility decline are still not fully understood, the Asian reproductive revolution is of great importance and interest to planners and social scientists. This book is the first major attempt to chart and explain the Asian fertility transition and to assess its implications. It begins by examining the relevance of current fertility transition hypotheses to the Asian context. It makes a comprehensive analysis of the evidence - including regional and ethnic variations within countries and comparisons of similar cultural groups in different countries - and challenges conventional theories of population change. It demonstrates how the transition has important implications for social, economic, and welfare policies, and how Asian governments have responded so far. The book concludes by arguing that, based on the Asian experience, an adequate theory of demographic transition must include three separate elements; socio-economic change, the availability and legitimation of family planning, and the pressure exerted by government.
