The parents are fined and sometimes the child is placed in an orphanage
No, they just have to pay a fine.
About 20,000 and maybe even more per family.
It is not fair because woman should be allowed to have more than one child so they can have a bigger family.
Yes, because my friend's family have multiple babies and absolutey yes
(at the time this was contributed) I believe that The People's Republic of China (i.e.: Communist China) is the only nation with an officially government sanctioned policy against more than one child per family.
Boys. Since the Chinese are only allowed one child, they prefer to have a boy to carry on the family name.
China introduced the one child policy to control its population. This meant that couples could only have one child. This led to better health and child care and more jobs, money and food although some people complained and argued that they deserve the right to have more than one child.
Everywhere. China is so big that you are only allowed one child. If your first child is a girl you are allowed one more child. Did you know that in china one child is born every minute. In rural areas people are usually allowed to have more than one child.
Because they can't afford to have more than 1 child per family in their country, the cost would be too high for them. Trust points please? :)
The government issued and implemented effectively a law limiting any family not to have more than only one child.
I disagree with the one child policy in China because China is a country and they can fit more people in it, it is cruel to the citizens and families living in China
Do you mean decrease? The government allows just one child in a family. If they want more children they have to pay a big tax. ( As far as I know in big cities you can't even pay this penalty, you should live in the country to have a second child.)
