Professor Nancy Riley: Making Sense of China’s One-Child Policy

Since China abolished its one-child policy last fall, many commentators have weighed in on the policy, debating its merits and impacts. Professor of Sociology Nancy Riley has studied China’s population issues for many years and has published widely on subject. Her forthcoming book, potentially titled Population and Policy in Contemporary China (Polity Press) comes out later this year. Read about Riley’s analysis of the policy.
