In the first half, the author explores the unique characteristics of China's low fertility, emphasizing the risk of falling into an ultra-low state. By examining the demographic structure, driving forces, and institutional factors contributing to this low fertility, the book aims to answer the central question: How is China's fertility changing and evolving? The second half of the book takes a deeper dive into the impact of the two-child policy on various aspects of Chinese society. It models the effects on population trends, demands for women, infant, and child health services, as well as education resources for preschool, compulsory education, and beyond. The book addresses crucial questions such as how the two-child policy influences fertility behaviors among Chinese women, particularly regarding the second child. It also examines the potential consequences of the policy on future population trends, including labor supply, population aging, and the impact on obstetrics and gynaecological services, pediatrics, and childcare services. Furthermore, the book explores the implications for school capacity and demand for teachers in compulsory education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of Chinese studies, population and demography studies, and anyone with an interest in contemporary China.
