Abstract
Provincial data for China are used to examine the interrelationships between socioeconomic development family planning and changes in parity progression ratios between 1979 and 1984 using factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that at the provincial level a decline in progression from first births to second births (indicating acceptance of the one-child family norm) depended largely on the provinces level of socioeconomic development. In contrast the family planning program exerted the most significant influence on the decline in progression from second births to third births (and probably to higher parities as well) independent of socioeconomic conditions.
