Two more articles I reported appeared in the The Lancet in recent weeks. For the first, on the persistence of China's 'One Child Policy' in the face of dwindling fertility and an aging population, I traveled to Yicheng County in Shanxi province, which has been governed by a unique two-child policy since the 1980s. The second article is about New Zealand's efforts to reduce the dramatic disparities in life expectancy and wellbeing that are exhibited by the indigenous Maori and non-Maori populations.
