Qian Cai

Qian Cai is the director of the Demographics Research Group at the University of Virginia, where she specializes in population studies and demographic trends. Her research often focuses on the implications of policy changes on reproductive behavior, particularly in the context of China's shifting population dynamics. In recent discussions about China's 'condom tax', Cai expressed skepticism about the tax's potential to encourage higher fertility, noting that for couples unwilling to have children, financial incentives are unlikely to sway their decisions.
