China's One-Child Policy

One of the main results of the One-Child Policy in China is a male surplus in China. Since males are prized over females in China, if a family must choose between sons or daughters, the family will often abandon or export (through foreign adoptions) their daughters or simply abort them as fetuses. Currently there are between 30-40 million excess Chinese males.

It is difficult to determine the exact number of abortions that have occurred under China's one-child policy. The policy, which was implemented from 1979 to 2015, resulted in numerous forced abortions and sterilizations. It is estimated that millions of abortions took place during this period, but an exact figure is not available.

Because they tend to need more children to work on the farm.

What do you think about China one child policy

Rome is the capital city of Italy and Rome didn't conquer Italy. It created it. Farming continued and today there is still farming.

They usually pay fines. Except for state officials. They lose their job automatically.

In China, some people were fine with the one child policy. Some women only wanted one child because they were too busy with their jobs. Some were loyal to the government and were therefore okay with it.

However some people in China did not agree to this and wanted to be able to make the decision of how many kids to raise and about their fertility.

There were a lot of mixed attitudes as this was a very controversial issue, especially in China where large familys were the norm.

China's one child policy was created by Deng Xiaoping in 1979 because of the large population; 300 million people were born over 20 years. China knew it had to do something to slow population growth. People prefer to have males rather than females since males earn more money, females babies are killed, either that or they are given up for adoption. Recently, China had a horrible earthquake. All the families that lost their children will be allowed to have another baby but parents over 60 years of age that lost their child will be given $150 from the Chinese Government to make up for it because they will not be allowed to have another child. Couples that adopt a child or baby orphaned by the earthquake, that have not already given birth to their own child, will also be allowed to have a second child by natural birth. Those couples over 50 years of age who lost their only child to the earthquake would also be paid 600 Yuan ($89). Couples that already have a child that get pregnant will be forced to get an abortion whether they want to or not. If a woman gets pregnant with twins then she may keep both the babies just as long as she has enough money to look after both the children.

They have both mandated sterilization, and mandated abortion.

based on what we have learned at school,the primary country that implements one-child policy is China but Hong Kong is not included(even though its a region of China)..

today, China's population is 1.4 billion; if there was no one child policy, the number would be 1.8 billion. Do you think China would become to a world power and build world's second largest economy with another 400 million people? Government couldn't even feed them.

they can have only one baby so they could reduce the population in their country. from what i heard if the parent got a brother or sister they can only have one baby, but if the parent got no brother or sister they could have babies up to 2.

Acually the most common policy is two children and that is because china is so over populated.

The world's total population is close to twelve billion that means twelve billion people like you breathe and live in the same world. Every one of us has thoughts, feelings, emotions that are unique to us. Every one of has opinions about the same thing, which may differ from some one else's opinion.

China has had the one child policy since 1979.

It was introduced as a form of population control. Overpopulated countries place stress on the basic life sustaining resources, leading to a diminished quality of life.

The one child policy will only end when the people can speak out.,

They are allowed to keep both children because it was not the parents fault, but if they have a second child then they will get a fine unless the children are twins. The rules vary from the city to the country because in the country they can have to children to help look after them and to help with the farming etc.

It was good because:

1. Good for environment

2. Less pollution

3. Decreased over crowdedness

Bad because:

1. Killing innocent girls

2. Spoilt children

3. Unfairness towards women

one child policy has benifitted china big time. restricting married couples to only one child, it has helped minimize the rate of births in the country. it has prevented about 400 million births form 1979 to 2011. though it is the reason behind countless abortions in china, it has helped reducing the expected population to some extent.

This policy have being very successful to controlling the population, people in china follow this rule and great consequences will be faced otherwise. This policy also help the country to develop, if it wasn't for this policy, right now the amount of people in china would be way overboard compared to the area of land. Lack of food, job, shelter would become a big problem in the future, the the population wasn't controlled. In a few years time India's population will over take China.

Because the population is increasing at a high rate, and there is a political reason inside. With a stabilized population, the GDP per capita will raise. Another economical reason is that China will export more agricultural products.

Right now, China's one child policy is reducing the population of China. It means that as the population ages, there will be fewer younger people to support the elderly. On the other hand, since China is turning the Western Half of the country into desert, it will be able to feed its reduced population with its reduced farmland.

Women are not considered important in China and many girl babies were killed After they were born. When a family can have only one child, many families choose to have boy babies. Too many males is bad, as it can really hurt the chances of a society maintaining it's population, and can lead to a lessening of the gene pool, and result in more birth defects.
