Childbearing and choice: Views of young Chinese professional women. - 147 p.

Chair: John Regan.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Claremont Graduate University, 1996.

Traditionally, women's lives have been structured by the expectation of their bearing children, and their cultures have ascribed patterns of when and under what circumstances children will be born. In recent years, these patterns have become more flexible in many industrialized countries, and women's lives now take many different directions. As a result, traditional expectations about having children have been modified, and many women face the prospect of childbearing late in their reproductive lives or not at all. In contrast to such changes, the young Chinese professional women interviewed in this study still fit into a traditional culture in which the expectations about their having children still fit into the old pattern. Twenty women between the ages of 22 and 42 were interviewed in Shanghai and Xi'an. These interviews were transcribed and analyzed.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Traditionally, women's lives have been structured by the expectation of their bearing children, and their cultures have ascribed patterns of when and under what circumstances children will be born. In recent years, these patterns have become more flexible in many industrialized countries, and women's lives now take many different directions. As a result, traditional expectations about having children have been modified, and many women face the prospect of childbearing late in their reproductive lives or not at all. In contrast to such changes, the young Chinese professional women interviewed in this study still fit into a traditional culture in which the expectations about their having children still fit into the old pattern. Twenty women between the ages of 22 and 42 were interviewed in Shanghai and Xi'an. These interviews were transcribed and analyzed.
520 $a The interviewed subjects stated that the best age for a woman to have a child is between twenty-five and thirty. They agreed that at this age a woman will recover from childbirth quickly, the baby will be healthy and intelligent, and the woman's career will already be established. They also pointed out that a child who is born when the mother is at this age will be independent when the mother retires at approximately age 55, the mother will then no longer have childrearing responsibilities, and the child will be in a position to care for its parents.
520 $a The study examines individual childbearing within biological and social-science frameworks, including the sociological roots of culturally adapted behavior; anthropological universals in pair-bonding and regulation of child production, biological limitations of fertility, feminist perspectives on reproductive behavior, the ramifications of the demographic transition and the relevance of variation in the timing of childbearing to life-course theories. Implications for looking at reproductive behavior in terms of individual rights and group obligations are included.
