a| "Only Hope shows how the one-child policy has largely succeeded in its goals, but with unintended consequences. Only-children are expected to be the primary providers of support and care for their retired parents, grandparents, and parents-in-law, and only a very lucrative position will allow them to provide for so many dependents. Many only-children aspire to elite status even though few can attain it, and such aspirations lead to increased stress and competition, as well as intense parental involvement. To their parents, brought up in larger families with lower parental investment, only-children seem maladjusted and spoiled - a complaint, the author points out, heard in many societies in the developed world, where declining fertility rates are an integral part of the modern economy."--BOOK JACKET.
