The one-child policy, implemented in China from 1979 to 2015, significantly reduced the country's Birth Rate, leading to a demographic shift with an aging population and a gender imbalance due to a cultural preference for sons. While it initially alleviated economic pressures and contributed to rapid economic growth, the policy has also resulted in labor shortages and increased social welfare costs. Additionally, the psychological impact on families and the "4-2-1" family structure (one child supporting two parents and four grandparents) have raised concerns about future societal stability. The policy was officially relaxed in 2015, allowing families to have two children, but the long-term effects are still being felt.
