the policy was introduce because there where too many people being born and the country could not handle that many people. when china had a famine in 1970 they realized they had too many people and they needed to prepare themselves if it happened again.
China had a serious problem with over-population. This was due to advances in health and nutrition and advances in medicine.
In historical times couples would have many children, of whom many would die in infancy, in adolescence and as young adults. They would die of diseases, of accidents, of infections, of famine, natural disasters and from warfare and violent crime. As few survived to adulthood and themselves had children, the population did not grow rapidly.
Once living conditions improved, many more children survived, and they had many more children them selves, and they also survived. The population grew very rapidly, threatening to exceed the simple agricultural resources needed to feed and house them
There are many approaches to limiting population growth, but the Chinese government took a very autocratic route and simply decreed that from a certain date no couple may have more than one child.
The policy has succeeded in limiting the population growth, though there have been some bad side effects, notably the abortion and killing of girl children in favor of boy children.
The aim was to reduce the number of children in families at one time each family had 7 children. now it was one to stop the population expansion.

Over-population.
The reason that only one Chinese child is allowed per family is because of the One Child Policy. Introduced in 1978, this policy was created by the Chinese Government to alleviate economic, environmental and social problems in China. When the policy was first introduced, the fertility rate in China was over 3 children per woman; in 2008, the number had fallen to 1.8 children per woman. While it has helped with both economic and environmental problems, it has had a large impact on rural families, which rely on their children to work the farm.
Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping invented the one child policy in 1979.

The Chinese government introduced one-child policy in 1979 to alleviate the social and environmental problems of China. The one-child policy promotes couples having one child in rural and urban areas. It should really be called the "one birth policy" because parents are allowed to keep twins, triplets, etc.
China relaxed the One Child Policy in 2015.
