The growth of Chinese minority populations.
This is a review of recent demographic trends among the 55 recognized minority ethnic groups in China, which have a total population of 91.2  million. Reasons for the rapid growth among many of these populations since the 1960s are analyzed.  They include "the significant improvement of public health in the 1950s and 1960s, the leniency in the implementation of the birth control policies in minority communities, the relatively high birth and fertility rates in these communities, and the reaffirmation of racial identity in the 1980s."
