This volume documents how families, communities and some groups
(single men, young ‘scarce’ women, parents) adapt and adjust to
recent demographic shifts in China and India. It discusses
how demographic change interacts with other processes of change,
including changes with respect to economic development and
globalization, gender, class, caste, families, migration and
work. The chapters offer micro-level analyses contextualized in
larger processes of change and push further existing
understandings of the consequences of the demographic imbalance
between men and women in China and/or India, particularly from a
gender perspective. As such this book will be of interest
to scholars and students in population studies, sociology,
international development, gender studies, and Asian
studies.
