Emma Zang

Emma Zang is a sociologist and demographer at Yale University, renowned for her research on demographic trends and social issues in China. Her work focuses on the challenges faced by women in the context of family planning and societal expectations, particularly in light of China's recent shifts in population policy. Zang has emphasized the need for realistic governmental support to facilitate higher fertility rates, arguing that without addressing the underlying social and economic barriers, including workplace equality and parental leave, the desired demographic changes are unlikely to occur.
