Abstract:
The one-child policy in China is characterized by exceptions that vary across regions and time. In the second half of the 1980s, some provinces began to allow rural families to have a second child without sanctions if their first child is a girl. Using provincial data from 1979 to 2000, I examine the effect of the “1.5-child policy” on fertility behavior. Despite the large proportion of the population potentially eligible for the exception, I find that the policy had weak overall effects on crude birth rates. It had stronger effects on the proportion of higher-order births among new births. In addition, in poorer areas, the policy’s effect on crude birth rates is larger but its effect on higher-order births is smaller.
