China's One-Child Policy

To alleviate the effects of overpopulation, China instituted a one-child policy beginning in 1978. Under the family planning policy, urban couples are only allowed to have one child. The policy is still in effect today. China is the most populous country in the world with more than 1.3 billion citizens.

Why is it considered bad luck to leave your hat on the bed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Like a lot of superstitions this might be tied into morbid angles. People do not normally wear hats indoors. Leaving a hat on a bed might suggest somebody had died. I seem to recall at the funeral of Juliette Gordon Low, the lady was dressed in her Girl Scout uniform but the hat (for obvious reasons) was placed at her feet or over trhe closed portion of the casket. a hat on a bed might have the same connotation of a flag half-way up or half-mast. That is a mark of respect for the dead. In Portugal, the superstition is that a hat on a bed fortells a family argument. Rodeo riders see a hat on the bed as a premonition of a rodeo injury or death. Some sources cite that the hat-on-a-bed superstition has its roots in practical hygeine. Hats are a good source of head lice, and laying down naked on a bed full of head lice is bound to cause some itching.

Asked by Wiki User

The one-child policy was introduced in the People's Republic of China in 1979. It was implemented as a population control measure to address the country's growing population and to curb social, economic, and environmental challenges associated with overpopulation. The policy was officially abandoned in 2016, and now couples in China are allowed to have two children.

Was the Chinese one child policy successful?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Chinese one-child policy, implemented in 1979, had some success in achieving its stated goal of reducing population growth. It helped to curb population growth rates and achieve a decline in fertility rates. However, it also had negative effects, such as gender imbalances, a rapidly aging population, and social and psychological impacts on individuals and families. Ultimately, the policy was officially ended in 2015 and replaced with a two-child policy.

Asked by Wiki User

It is difficult to determine the exact number of abortions that have occurred under China's one-child policy. The policy, which was implemented from 1979 to 2015, resulted in numerous forced abortions and sterilizations. It is estimated that millions of abortions took place during this period, but an exact figure is not available.

What are peoples attitudes towards the china policy of only having one child?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In China, some people were fine with the one child policy. Some women only wanted one child because they were too busy with their jobs. Some were loyal to the government and were therefore okay with it.

However some people in China did not agree to this and wanted to be able to make the decision of how many kids to raise and about their fertility.

There were a lot of mixed attitudes as this was a very controversial issue, especially in China where large familys were the norm.

What was the one child policy in China?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

China's one child policy was created by Deng Xiaoping in 1979 because of the large population; 300 million people were born over 20 years. China knew it had to do something to slow population growth. People prefer to have males rather than females since males earn more money, females babies are killed, either that or they are given up for adoption. Recently, China had a horrible earthquake. All the families that lost their children will be allowed to have another baby but parents over 60 years of age that lost their child will be given $150 from the Chinese Government to make up for it because they will not be allowed to have another child. Couples that adopt a child or baby orphaned by the earthquake, that have not already given birth to their own child, will also be allowed to have a second child by natural birth. Those couples over 50 years of age who lost their only child to the earthquake would also be paid 600 Yuan ($89). Couples that already have a child that get pregnant will be forced to get an abortion whether they want to or not. If a woman gets pregnant with twins then she may keep both the babies just as long as she has enough money to look after both the children.

What are the rewards of the one child policy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some people consider it "positive" that:

  • Fewer children may mean fewer resources consumed which in turn can mean
  • ** higher quality of life for everyone
    • less overall pollution
    • less competition for resources
    • fewer people to govern, manage, or coordinate
    • fewer "distractions" from community endeavors on the part of would-be parents and siblings
    • more social mobility


While not everyone agrees on any of these points, it can be a start.

Has china one child policy been successful in controling china population growth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This policy have being very successful to controlling the population, people in china follow this rule and great consequences will be faced otherwise. This policy also help the country to develop, if it wasn't for this policy, right now the amount of people in china would be way overboard compared to the area of land. Lack of food, job, shelter would become a big problem in the future, the the population wasn't controlled. In a few years time India's population will over take China.
