Family-planning needs of youth in a new China

On my recent trip to Beijing, I was able to sit down with the director of Marie Stopes International China, Lily Liu Liqing, and American expatriate Alice Zheng, who is working there as a project assistant. Both had a lot to say about the work of MSIC in the domain of family planning and reproductive health in China, which is interesting in its own right but also has implications for work in other contexts. As they discuss in the following clip, China’s unique history and rapid socio-economic transformation have implications both for the needs of the population, and the methods by which organizations can go about fulfilling them.
