This paper further proposes several criteria for judging the direction of demographic transition and whether or not it has finished. Apart from establishing new theories of demographic transition and the trasition of demographic structure, this paper differentiates the concepts of "relative surplus population" and "relative suitable population," and "relative insufficient population" and identifies key demographic differences along the way. In doing so, this paper argues that China's demographic strueture is undergoing a process of rebalancing.展开更多

Without gender preference, the effect of fertility level on SRB is arisen from the change of composition of birthorder-specific children. When taking into account the gender preference, fertility level affects not only the proportion of birth-order-specific children to total births, but the sex ratio of birth-order-specific children. Fertility rate change is the main reason of fluctuations of the SRB in the countries without gender preference. However, the change of fertility level has a little affect on SRB, and the sex selection is the main reason for the abnormal change of SRB in the countries with gender preference.展开更多

Methods The author summarized the QOC theory and draw on its experiences and strength in family planningprogram in China. Results The theory facilitated the earnest program of the population and family planning program during the tenth five-year plan period, benefited the realization of the innovation of system and mechanism in population and family planning work, and the creation of a nice population environment for the healthy social and economic development in China. Conclusion The development of QOC has displayed a conspicuous theory in China's family planning program.展开更多
