With a theory-driven mixed-methods approach, her research examines social inequality through the lens of marriage, family, and reproduction. Zhou's primary interests include gender, fertility, union formation, politics of reproduction, population policy, and innovative methods. Her work combines statistical analysis of survey data, original in-depth interviews, and agent-based computational modeling. Zhou's current project investigates the intended and unintended consequences of China's recent ending of the one-child policy.
