Summary:At no time in the twentieth century has a nation witnessed demographic changes as dramatic as those in the People's Republic of China. In a time span of less than thirty years, China completed a transition from a premodern to a modern demographic regime.

In particular, they focus on the reform era of the 1980s when China moved from a socialist to a market economy.
