Small-Family Mindset: An Analysis Of The Impact Of China's Family Planning Policies On Family Culture, Sarah Ansley Croft
Honors Theses
This thesis examines the impact of China’s family planning policies on women’s attitudes towards family culture and the implications on China today.

Depending on the wellness policy, prevalence varied from 6 percent (Safe Routes to School) to 66 percent (wellness coordinator). …
