中国史无前例地降低了婴儿死亡率、儿童死亡率和孕产妇死亡率,而且很大程度地改善了人民的健康水平。在儿童和产妇死亡方面也有类似的下降,而可提供的卫生服务则增加了。 中国是世界上少数几个认真考虑人口快速增长问题的国家之一。1963年中国的总和生育率达到了7左右,到了七十年代末,国家采取了晚育、少生、加大生育间隔的政策,总和生育率降到了3以下。到九十年代初期,总和生育率更低,中国现在已经接近达到人口稳定。
China has reduced infant and child mortality and maternal mortality to an unprecedented degree, and has greatly improved people’s health. There has also been a similar decline in child and maternal mortality, with an increase in the availability of health services. China is one of the few countries in the world that seriously considers the problem of rapid population growth. In 1963, the total fertility rate in China reached around 7, and by the end of the 1970s, the state adopted a policy of late childbirth and fewer births and increased spacing of births. The total fertility rate has dropped below 3. By the early 1990s, the total fertility rate was even lower. China is now close to achieving population stability.
