A number of uncritical assumptions underlying population control programmes have important implications for women as well as men. Assertions that population growth is the most serious obstacle to economic development in underdeveloped (“Third World”) countries and that high fertility rates reflect ‘irrational’ preferences for large families distract attention from the structural causes of poverty. There is a clear focus on family planning as a women’s issue in underdeveloped countries and the almost exclusive attention to contraception, nutrition and child-care in development programs aimed at women.The exclusion of projects concerned with their economic needs represents a continuity in the identification of women with their reproductive functions—a modern version of the ‘natural’ and ‘domestic’ gender discriminations which characterised traditional constructions of the feminine, ignoring the potential value of men’s contributions in the processes of development policies. Post-revolutionary China presents us with an example of a socialist, revolutionary government theoretically committed to the radical reform of family structure in a society where gender relations were generally held to have been oppressive in the extreme. Predicated on Marxist theory, post-revolutionary policy towards women has been concerned with involving them in productive activity, assuming that gender equality would almost automatically follow suit. But many commentators have observed that despite official proclamations, a gender-based division of labour not only persists but is actively reconstructed by patriarchal-based Party and government policy. The Japanese context raises complex questions due to low fertility rates and gender relations in general.
