Outline of the Lecture:
Based on interviews, surveys, and participant observation conducted as part of a longitudinal study of Chinese singletons conducted between 1998 and 2022, this talk examines how the high parental investment, high educational attainment, high career ambitions, and egalitarian gender roles experienced by a cohort born under China’s one-child policy have led most members of this cohort to not have a child by age 28, despite policies that now allow them to have up to three children, and the widespread desire to have two children that most of them expressed during their twenties, and the fact that most of them were born to working-class parents who were under age 28 or younger when they had their first children.
