Chapter 1. Unifying perspectives: Understanding scarce women and surplus men in China and India (Sharada Srinivasan and Shuzhuo LI) -- Chapter 2. Being ‘Bare Branches’: Demographic Imbalance, Marriage Exclusion and Masculinity in North India (Paro Mishra) -- Chapter 3.

LI, and Shuzhuo LI) -- Chapter 4. “Who Said I Was a Forced Bachelor?” Single Men’s Voices and Strategies in Rural China (Kun Zhang and Danièle Belanger) -- Chapter 5. “Now it is Difficult to Get Married”: Contextualising Cross-Regional Marriage and Bachelorhood in a North Indian Village (Shruti Chaudhry) -- Chapter 6. The Sex Ratio Question and the Unfolding of a Moral Panic? Notions of Power, Choice and Self in Mate Selection among Women and Men in Higher Education in China (Lisa Eklund) -- Chapter 7.

This volume documents how families, communities and some groups (single men, young ‘scarce’ women, parents) adapt and adjust to recent demographic shifts in China and India. It discuss how demographic change interacts with other processes of change, including changes with respect to economic development and globalization, gender, class, caste, families, migration and work. The chapters offer micro-level analyses contextualized in larger processes of change and push further existing understandings of the consequences of the demographic imbalance between men and women in China and/or India, particularly from a gender/ feminist perspective. As such this book will be of interest to scholars and students in population studies, sociology, international development, gender studies, and Asian studies. .
