Description

This publication introduces readers to some of the dramatic shifts that have taken place in Chinese sexual behaviours and attitudes, and public discussions of sex, since the 1980s. The book explores what it means to talk about ‘sex’ in present-day China, where sex and sexuality are more and more visible in everyday life. The authors situate China’s changing sexual culture, and how it is governed, in the socio-political history of the People’s Republic of China. Chapters focus on sex studies, marriage and family planning, youth and sex(iness), gay, lesbian and queer discourses and identities, commercial sex: and HIV/AIDS.

Description

'Child marriage is a main contributing factor to adolescent pregnancy. Nine out of ten births to girls aged 15-19 occur within marriage. Just as these girls often have no say about whether, when, and whom they will marry, they also likely have no say about whether and when to begin childbearing. .In response to this situation, UNFPA has made girls’ rights and the prevention of adolescent pregnancy a signature issue in its policy and programming efforts, so that each girl will grow up unencumbered by gender inequality and discrimination, and free to choose the path to a healthy, empowered life.'

Description

Presentatie van de resultaten van nieuw historisch onderzoek naar de invloed van familie op de levenskansen van individuen. Centraal staat de interactie tussen historische actoren en de demografische en socio-economische kenmerken van de families en huishoudens waarvan zij deel uitmaakten. Naast opleidingsniveau, beroep en sociale status van beide ouders bepaalden de omvang en de samenstelling van de familie en het gezin in belangrijke mate de levenskansen van de kinderen. Dit boek biedt een antwoord op de vraag hoe de gezins- en familiale context zich in het verleden vertaalde in de opleiding, migratietrajecten, partnerkeuze en huwelijkskansen, vruchtbaarheid, gezondheid- en sterfterisico's en carrièrekansen van kinderen.
