Why was China's 1 child?

Answer 1

China's One-Child Policy, implemented in 1979, aimed to control population growth to promote economic development and alleviate social, economic, and environmental challenges. The government believed that limiting the number of children would help improve living standards and reduce poverty. However, the policy led to significant demographic imbalances, including a declining workforce and an aging population, as well as social issues such as gender imbalances due to a cultural preference for male children. The policy was gradually relaxed starting in 2015, allowing families to have two children, and later three, in response to these challenges.
