A Concise History of China's Population
Jianxiong Ge
Über dieses Buch
This book provides a comprehensive overview and explanation of China's population, analyzing its special characteristics and patterns of growth over the past 2, 000 years. Topics include its composition, distribution, migration, and deep analysis into China's historical population.
The author aims to answer complicated questions such as how China's population was formed, when China started its earliest population surveys, how China's population migrated and was distributed historically, and how existing population data should be evaluated and used now? In addition, the author explores the influence of natural and human-caused disasters, censuses, tax policies, and economic development on China's population changes. The work also offers a span of rich historical detail related to population control.
The book will be a great read to students and scholars of population studies, Chinese studies, ethnology, and those who are interested in Chinese history, archaeology, geography, and sociology.
