Description

Lost and Found: The "Missing Girls" in Rural China explores the implementation of China's one-child policy at the village level. Through in-depth interviews with rural parents and local leaders, John James Kennedy and Yaojiang Shi reveal how officials and families interacted to comply or not comply with the birth control policy. The authors examine how larger families provided increased labor and income, making non-compliance an attractive option for many. This sobering exploration of China's Single Child Policy sheds light on governance by grassroots cadres and the challenges that arise from center-versus-locality contradictions in governance. By examining the complexities of rural China's response to the one-child policy, Kennedy and Shi provide valuable insights into the impact of local autonomy on governance and the ongoing challenges for resolving these contradictions.
