The World

A number of reviews emphasize the considerable extent to which infants and children of this country continue to be burdened with afflictions and risks of poor health.1-4 Persistent problems invite speculation that either the nation's wisdom or its resources are insufficient to serve fully the health needs of children. Neither of these explanations is well supported. A thoughtful policy paper5 published by the World Bank, dealing with the health of all children in the world, marshalls evidence that the most pressing health problems of children can be controlled or treated with presently known technologies. For this country, the Select Panel for the Promotion of Child Health found that the most pressing children's health problems were related to deficiencies of access to essential basic health services, and that the cost of providing those services as a public expense would be both small and cost effective.6 Services for children account for an exceedingly small portion of the federal health expenditures; out-of-pocket payments for children's health services are proportionally higher than for any other age group, even though a higher propontion of children than any other age group live in poverty-level households.7,8 Explanations other than lack of information or lack of national resources must be sought for the failure of this nation to address adequately the health needs of children. This paper attempts to serve two purposes. It first marshalls new testimony on the health status of children and then attempts to analyze barriers that thwart effort to address unmet needs. In the first instance, the circumstances quoted are intended to confirm that in spite of substantial progress over the past decade there are some persistent problems and some new warning signals about children's health.

Anxious Parenting

This article analyses the representation of parental practices in Parenting Science, the first and longest running parenting magazine published in China since 1980. Drawing on Foucault’s work on governmentality and biopolitics as well as their current development in cultural studies and sociology of health, this article critically investigates the cultural frames that surround parental practices relating to the health and development of young children. It explores how issues of medicalisation, intensive parenting, responsibility and self-management are represented in the magazine, ‘reflecting’ as well as ‘reinforcing’ dominant cultural ideas of parenting and childrearing in China. Based on a qualitative content analysis of 2295 items from 37 issues of the magazine (1980–2016), including editorials, feature stories, standard articles, Q&As, adverts and other short items, this article has identified three major frames of parental practices in monitoring and facilitating children’s health, development and wellbeing: (1) the medicalisation of children’s health problems, (2) the rise of expert authority and (3) the responsibilisation of parents. This article argues that these frames underpin the construction of an intensive and anxious parenting culture in China and serve as powerful tools of biopolitical control.
