I. Visible demographic discrimination -- pt. II. A system of norms and values that favours males. 330 $aThis book describes the shortage of girls and women in present day China and focuses on two important features: the sex imbalance in childhood and youth, and the excess mortality of women at various stages of their life. The author analyzes the causes and the processes of a strong preference for sons, which generates discrimination toward females and results in a shortage of girls and women.   China?s higher proportion of men than women is a population characteristic that is shared by very few countries in the world. This demographic masculinity is unprecedented in the documented history of human populations, both in scale and its lasting impact on the numbers and the structure of the population.   Despite the economic boom of recent years, many families in China still consider girls to be less important than boys. Although Chinese women have become largely emancipated since the 1950s, they still do not have the same opportunities for social achievement as men, and Chinese society remains fundamentally rooted in highly gendered social and family roles. As a consequence, Chinese girl babies who have the misfortune to be born instead of a long-awaited son go by various names, such as Pandi (literally "awaiting a son"), Laidi ("a son will follow"), or Yehao ("she'll do too").   The book provides a comprehensive review of the situation of women in China?s society and shows that discrimination against girls and women is part of a system of norms and values that traditionally favours males. 410 0$aINED Population Studies,$x2214-2452 ;$v1 606 $aMasculinity$zChina 615 0$aMasculinity 676 $a305.30951 700 $aAttane$b Isabelle$00 701 $aGrieve$b Madeleine$01755643 701 $aHorko$b Krystyna$01755644 701 $aDutreuilh$b Catriona$01755645 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741174503321 996 $aThe demographic masculinization of China$94192519 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01745nam 2200469z 450 001 9910149097903321 005 20251218160946.0 010 $a9784759827071 010 $a4759827072 035 $a(CKB)2560000000358635 035 $a(JP-MeL)3000016541 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5326308 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5326308 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11532839 035 $a(OCoLC)1030030131 035 $a(JP-MeKC)3000408185 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000358635 100 $a20211007d2008 ||| | 101 0 $ajpn 135 $aur|n||||un||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$a???????????iQ 205 $a1st ed. 210 $a??$c????$d2008.2 210 1$a?? : $c????, $d2008 215 $a???????1? 311 08$a9784759810882 311 08$a4759810889 327 $a? -- ?? ? -- ??? ??????? -- ?? -- ??????? -- ? ? -- ?? -- ?? -- ?? -- ?? -- ? ???? -- ? -- ?? -- ?? -- ?? -- ?? -- ?? -- Step Up -- ??????? -- ? ??????!? -- ????? ????? ???? ????? -- ?DNA?RNA?--????????? -- ??? -- ??. 330 $a?????????????????????????. 517 3 $a?????iQ 517 3 $a?????????????????IQ 606 $6880-05/$1$a??$2jlabsh 615 7$a?? 686 $a404$2njb/09 701 $a??$b ?? 801 1$bJP-MeL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149097903321 997 $aUNINA
