The Event

Declining birth rates are becoming a globally significant issue. Should we really be worried about this? How should we address the challenges of declining birth rates and an aging society in the future? On May 30th, Emma Zang, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Yale University, will share how to effectively tackle these social concerns through public policy, as well as achieving a balance between population policies and social development, particularly in the Chinese context.
