ONE QUARTER OF HUMANITY is written by James Z. LEE and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0674040058 (ISBN 10) and 9780674040052 (ISBN 13).
One Quarter of Humanity presents evidence about historical and contemporary Chinese population behavior that overturns much of the received wisdom about the differences between China and the West. James Lee and Wang Feng argue that there has been effective regulation of population growth in China through a variety of practices that depressed marital fertility to levels far below European standards, and through the widespread practices of infanticide and abortion. These practices and other distinctive features of the Chinese demographic and social system, they argue, led to a different demographic transition in China from the one that took place in the West.
