China's low fertility rate ensures rapid population aging in this century. Open markets and trade have widened income and health gaps in China. Policy changes and economic growth have spurred labor migration in China. Founded in 1929, the Population Reference Bureau is the leader in providing timely and objective information on U.S. and international population trends and their implications. PRB informs policymakers, educators, the media, and concerned citizens working in the public interest around the world through a broad range of activities, including publications, information services, seminars and workshops, and technical support. Our efforts are supported by government contracts, foundation grants, individual and corporate contributions, and the sale of publications. PRB is governed by a Board of Trustees representing diverse community and professional interests. The Population Bulletin is published four times a year and distributed to members of the Population Reference Bureau. Population Bulletins are also available for $7 (discounts for bulk orders).
