China Population and Development Studies

 

A quarterly English academic journal focusing on China's population and development, China Population and Development Studies (CPDS)is hosted by the China Population and Development Research Center (CPDRC) and affiliated to National Health Commission of China. Instead of being a new magazine, China Population and Development Studies took shape by making innovative adjustments to the contents and form of China Population Today, which was founded in the 1980s. In 2018, CPDS and Springer Nature signed cooperative agreement. 


The main characteristics of CPDS:

▶ Provides an international platform for discussions of population, health and development issues.

▶ The most comprehensive and authoritative representative of the trend and achievement of Chinese population and development studies.

▶Promotes interdisciplinary perspective in understanding population phenomena.
