Low Fertility and Reproductive Health in East Asia

International Studies in Population VOLUME 11 The International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) The IUSSP is an international association of researchers, teachers, policy makers and others from diverse disciplines set up to advance the field of demography and promote scientific exchange. It also seeks to foster relations between persons engaged in the study of demography and population trends in all countries of the world and to disseminate knowledge about their determinants and consequences. The members of the IUSSP scientific group responsible for this book were chosen for their scientific expertise. This book was reviewed by a group other than the authors. While the IUSSP endeavours to assure the accuracy and objectivity of its scientific work, the conclusions and interpretations in IUSSP publications are those of the authors. International Studies in Population (ISIP) is the outcome of an agreement concluded by the IUSSP and Springer in 2004. The joint series covers the broad range of work carried out by IUSSP and includes material presented at seminars organized by the IUSSP. The scientific directions of the IUSSP are set by the IUSSP Council elected by the membership and composed for 2014–2017 of: Anastasia Gage (Sierra Leone/United States), President Tom LeGrand (Canada), Vice President France Meslé (France), Secretary General and Treasurer Sajeda Amin (Bangladesh) Ann Biddlecom (United States) Parfait Eloundou-Enyegue (Cameroon) Emily Grundy (United Kingdom) Fátima Juárez (Mexico)
