Follow us The Fertility Transition in Hong Kong: 1961-1987
Freedman, Ronald, and Joseph Lee. 1989. "The Fertility Transition in Hong Kong: 1961-1987." PSC Research Report No. 89-159. September 1989.
Hong Kong is one of the populations for which we have a good record of the fertility transition from high to very low fertility in the last 27 years. It is also a population which illustrates how distortions in the age distribution and trends in nuptiality may have strong effects on the crude birth rate as an indication of fertility change. This paper describes these effects and investigates the causes of rapid fertility decline, including changes in nuptiality, increased use of contraception and family planning programs, abortion, rapid social and economic development and changes in the status of women.
