Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

China is, and always has been, a major element in the world demography. In the study of population and social history, Chinas historical population growth, demographic regimes, marriage patterns and household formation systems are frequently used as examples in the discussion of population changes, micro-social structure and their relationships with natural resources and economic development in past times. This chapter provides an introduction to Chinas major historical population data sources, recent advances in Chinese historical demography and major research findings made through these developments in the last half century.
