Those who want to understand childhood and parenting in modern China need to appreciate the profound effect of the official "one child policy."
The generation that is now having children grew up in the 1960s and early 1970s.
During that era Chairman Mao was encouraging large families because he believed a growing population would supply the work force necessary to make the country's drive toward modernization a success.
Today's parents probably have many siblings. Growing up, their homes were likely to have been crowded, busy places.
As children they were most likely looked after, and in turn took care of, several brothers and sisters. Interacting with siblings, cousins and other relatives was an important part of family life.
By the mid-1970s it was becoming increasingly apparent that Mao's policy makers had overlooked the fact that with each pair of hands to do the work came an additional hungry mouth to feed.
Food shortages and crowding overextended China's sagging infrastructure, and officials began efforts to curb the exploding population. In 1979 the one-child policy, which exerts severe social and economic penalties on large families, was enacted into law.
In urban areas, where the one-child policy is strictly enforced, a second child may be denied medical and educational services, parents are likely to face a fine equivalent to ten years' wages, and may even lose their jobs (Strom, Strom, & Xie, 1995).
Enforcement is likely to be more lax in agricultural areas where extra hands are still needed to ensure an efficient planting season and a successful harvest, but the overall effect of these efforts is impressive.
