Using fertility survey data from the 1980s for registered Han peasant couples in Hebei Province, this study examines whether China's family planning policy reflects couples' voluntary compliance with policy regulations, their coercion by means of government sanctions, or a combination of both. Three family planning regulations are considered: birth-quota status, contraceptive use, and length of prior birth interval. The results of the study provide support for both compliance and sanction perspectives and suggest that by the late 1980s, the state was less willing than it had been previously to negotiate with couples who had had three children. Evidence is found of cooperation between couples and the state to ensure that each family had at least one son.
本研究利用20世纪80年代河北省汉族登记农民夫妇的生育调查数据，考察中国的计划生育政策是反映了夫妇对政策规定的自愿遵守、政府制裁手段的强制作用，还是二者的结合。研究考虑了三项计划生育规定：生育配额状况、避孕措施使用情况以及前次生育间隔时长。研究结果为遵守和制裁两种观点均提供了支持，并表明到20世纪80年代末，国家比以前更不愿意与已生育三个孩子的夫妇进行协商。研究发现了夫妇与国家之间为确保每个家庭至少有一个儿子而进行合作的证据。
