Nearly 40 years later, the result is an estimated 20 million \"missing girls\" in the population from 1980-2010. In \u003cem\u003eLost and Found\u003c\/em\u003e, John James Kennedy and Yaojiang Shi focus on village-level implementation of the one-child policy and the level of mutual-noncompliance between officials and rural families. Through in-depth interviews with rural parents and local leaders, they reveal that many had strong incentives not to comply with the birth control policy because larger families meant increased labor and income. In this sober exploration of China's Single Child Policy throughout the reform period, the authors more broadly show how governance by grassroots cadres with greater local autonomy has affected China in the past and the challenges for resolving center-versus-locality contradictions in governance that lie ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn James Kennedy\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Political Science and Director of Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Kansas.
