	abstract = {We investigate how exposure to the One-Child Policy (OCP) during early adulthood\&nbsp;affects marriage and fertility in China. Exploring fertility penalties across provinces over\&nbsp;time and the different implementations by ethnicity, we show that the OCP significantly increases the unmarried rate among the Han ethnicity but not among the minorities. The OCP\&nbsp;increases Han-minority marriages in regions where Han-minority couples are allowed for\&nbsp;an additional child, but the impact is smaller in other regions. Finally, the deadweight loss\&nbsp;caused by lower fertility accounts for 10 percent of annual household incomes, and policy-induced fewer marriages contribute to 30 percent of the fertility decline.},
