What is china doing to stop over population?

Answer 1

china has realized that if they want to live like humans they need to reduce their population for that the government has taken and implemented many steps ,for instance if a married couple remains without a child or only 1 child the couple is give cash reward by the government .this best proves that how badly china wants to reduce its population

Answer 2

The concerns with overpopulation is that there are getting to be too many people for each of us:

• to get enough resources to llve our lives free of hunger and disease
• to have the energy to manufacture goods and keep warm
• to have places to live, water to drink, social amenities like schools and hospitals
• to haver all our waste treated.

The answer to overpopulation is to maintain the number of people to the point that there is enough of a population to create the social and lifestyle conditions we want, but not so many that the resources cannot meet their needs

That gets us to the biggest problem with finding or enacting a solution: Overpopulation is a problem usually expressed as there being too many of "them". "We" are okay.

As a consequence, there is a tendency for the answers to overpopulation to be met with the same responses as the proposals for control of global warming:

There is no problem

• Why should "we" put ourselves out when "they" are just going to eat up any improvement we make
• We're okay, let "them" solve their own problems.
• We will eventually solve the problem without population control by developing new technical answers
• It's too big to tackle.

Observations of nature suggest that the problem of overpopulation will eventually sort itself out. When any population gets too big, it suffers from a massive die off due to disease or social stress. In the case of human beings we could add war to the list. This could get messy as these solutions will impact everybody, not just "them". Also there is a tendency for natural or uncontrolled solutions to over-correct the problem. Instead of our present several billion folks we could end up with a few hundred thousand - enough to breed and continue the species, but not enough to continue the civilization or the technology.

So what can we do? As individuals, very little. As individual countries, not much more. As a majority of the human race maybe.

We'd have to agree to:

• Work together for a solution.
• Share what we have until we get to the solution.
• Abide by the solution after it is available.

The "solution" is the hard part. Writers of Science Fiction have come up with many, but none seem overly pleasant. Controlling birth by universal Birth Control, licensing or social pressure is often mentioned. Reducing medical care for the infirm is a potential solution that flies in the face of humanitarians. Some writers even suggest making life or death lottery choices a routine event.
