What are the pros and cons of China's one child policy?

Answer 1

The Advantages to the One Child Policy are:• The growth of the population decreases. If China had not had the policy, from 1979-2011 they would have had an extra 2.4 billion population.

• There are incentives for the one child families. They are given free health check ups, their child is given the best education (top schools) and women's get an extra three months maternity leave.

The disadvantages are:• They won't have any siblings. So they usually get spoilt being called 'the little emperors.'

• The thing "Cousin" would never exist in China. For siblings don't exist therefore there are no such thing "Cousins: in China.

Answer 2

Advantages:

• Better for China's environment
• Helps economically
• Enough resources to go round
• Less pollution
• Decreased overcrowdedness
• Always enough to eat
• Less suffer from poverty

Disadvantages:

• Killing of innocent girls (babies)
• Illegal abortions/ forced abortion
• effects the one child in various ways
• Abuse towards woman
• This may also lead to an aging population because of less children.
• To much pressure on hentai servers
• Beer Sales go down

Answer 3

The major benefit is population control, which is supposed to help ensure an adequate supply of food, water and basic sanitation services for the population. In practice, this isn't working out as intended.

There are several major drawbacks. First, in traditional Chinese culture, a boy is preferred over a girl because the boy will carry on the family name. If you can have multiple children, you just keep trying for a boy. If you can only have one child and that child is female, you have to make a decision about whether to keep the girl or get rid of her and try again for a boy. This has led to thousands of female babies being abandoned in orphanages and other places, and the balance between males and females is greatly skewed towards males in the current generation, causing significant problems for the young adult generation to find acceptable wives. Second, this policy is considered a major invasion on human rights, only a few short steps above involuntary sterilization. Third, as noted above, it's not working - the population of China is still booming, there is not adequate infrastructure to provide the population at large with basic hygienic services and there are people who are simply ignoring the one-child policy in places where they are not likely to be caught.

Answer 4

Some disadvantages of the one child policy are:

• there is an aging population because of less children,
• men will struggle to find a wife
• women are forced to have abortions
• there are lots of orphans (mostly girls)
• little emperor syndrome ( spoilt boys)
• high ratio of boy to girls
• policy takes away basic human rights
