Fei Xiaotong’s The Institutions for Reproduction provides a comprehensive analysis of family structures and reproductive institutions in China. Drawing on historical records, fieldwork, and sociological theory, Fei explores how social norms, inheritance, marriage practices, and government policies shape reproductive behavior. This edition reflects both traditional practices and modern policy influences, including the one-child policy and its societal impact. It remains an essential resource for scholars studying Chinese family systems, demographic change, and social policy.
