This chapter demonstrates how pervasive footbinding was among the mothers and grandmothers of women we interviewed in northern China. It begins by outlining political and economic background to the region and the development of the preindustrial cotton industry. Hebei province, surrounding Beijing, is the starting point. Heavily influenced by political changes and new developments in transportation and trade, Ding County, was the site of a landmark study of rural China in the 1920s and 1930s. Complementing the early research with new village material provides different perspectives on Ding County's decline in footbinding. Research in villages in Shandong, Henan, and Anhui Provinces provides additional information on the interplay of local environment, trade, girls’ hand labor, the pattern of footbinding and the pace of its decline.

Derived Demand

The author analyzes substitution between engineers and technicians through the application of a derived demand equation model to 1961 Census data and concludes that there is considerable substitution between these groups. The conclusion is qualified by noting certain weaknesses of the data. The results should be viewed in the context of the importance of substitution for manpower and educational planning and the lack of empirical study to date.
