What Did China's 1 Child Policy Encourage?

[Mainland] China's so-called 'One-child' policy is a program of government incentives and dis-incentives designed to exert some control over the growing population. Simply stated, it's the not-so-tacit government pressure to convince couples to limit themselves to no more than one child. The way my Chinese colleagues have explained it to me: There's no law that says you can't have two or three or ten children, but the government perks ... like better jobs, better pay, better housing, and lower taxes ... go to the families with zero or one child, and don't go to families with more than one. Sounds quite innocuous, until you realize that the most populous nation on earth is raising whole generations of people who never knew and will never know the experience of having a brother, sister, aunt, or uncle, except as something they read about in books.
