Rapid population growth in China has forced the entire nation to cope with increasing difficulties in getting sufficient food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, public health and employment, making it difficult to bring about a speedy change in the country's impoverished and backward state. In order to curb population growth, the Chinese government launched an unprecedented campaign of population control. This study investigates the effectiveness of family planning policy in reducing fertility. Data from the 1982 census of China and from two random household surveys in eight rural Chinese villages of four provinces completed two years apart (1987 and 1989) were used to test hypotheses relating fertility (number of children born) to family planning policy and socioeconomic development (i.e., education and income). Using OLS regression, four different measures of family planning policy were examined. The regression results indicate that both family planning policy and socioeconomic development have contributed significantly toward lowering fertility. This finding was consistently demonstrated in both the census and the two survey studies. In the census study, family planning and socioeconomic variables jointly account for 89 percent of the variation in population increase and 83 percent of the variation in household size. Both the 1987 and 1989 surveys explain respectively 66 percent and 69 percent of the variation in number of children born when both family planning and socioeconomic variables are included in the model. All the regression models are statistically significant at p $<$.01.

520 $a Rapid population growth in China has forced the entire nation to cope with increasing difficulties in getting sufficient food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, public health and employment, making it difficult to bring about a speedy change in the country's impoverished and backward state. In order to curb population growth, the Chinese government launched an unprecedented campaign of population control. This study investigates the effectiveness of family planning policy in reducing fertility. Data from the 1982 census of China and from two random household surveys in eight rural Chinese villages of four provinces completed two years apart (1987 and 1989) were used to test hypotheses relating fertility (number of children born) to family planning policy and socioeconomic development (i.e., education and income). Using OLS regression, four different measures of family planning policy were examined. The regression results indicate that both family planning policy and socioeconomic development have contributed significantly toward lowering fertility. This finding was consistently demonstrated in both the census and the two survey studies. In the census study, family planning and socioeconomic variables jointly account for 89 percent of the variation in population increase and 83 percent of the variation in household size. Both the 1987 and 1989 surveys explain respectively 66 percent and 69 percent of the variation in number of children born when both family planning and socioeconomic variables are included in the model. All the regression models are statistically significant at p $<$.01.
520 $a The results of this study support the conclusion that both socioeconomic factors and family planning effort are vital ingredients for modern fertility transitions. The implications are that investment in family planning programs is an effective way to precipitate fertility transitions. Further, the implementation of certain social changes (e. g., expanding educational attainment and improving production and income) may have important effects on reproductive motivation and fertility trends. While the study cannot necessarily endorse the belief that "development is the best contraceptive," it does suggest that development and family planning policy are a powerful combination.
