Population growth is a problem to the Asian populations health, economy and poverty issues. The one child per family method is an option like what China implemented. Method like birth control programs are also a way to figure out population growth issues. One method that china used in the 1980s was to tell the people that increasing economic growth would help hinder population growth. I dont see how explaining the harms of over population to the public wouldn't be enough for the public to help fix this problem. Spreading awareness about contraceptives and not having such young marriages are also ways to help with this problem.
The one child policy has a lot of exceptions and ethnic minorities do not have to follow this law. Steep fines would be given out to families that broke the law. Also if their first child was a girl they were allowed to have another child. There isn't any exact numbers showing how this law has affected the population growth directly. There's not a lot of ways to fix this problem so I feel like this has to be a positive solution to fixing this problem. The fertility rate in China has fallen from 2.8 births per woman in 1979 to 1.5 in 2010.

Than in 2007 67 percent of women between 17 and 45 used contraceptives. So more contraceptive use in Asia would definitely help out with the population problem. Females are actually preferring sterilization with 37 percent of females in India and 28 percent in china. China actually is one of the highest rate for contraceptive use in the world. 84 percent of women who are currently married. Contraceptives has to be one of the best ways to weaken population growth. It is one of the most used methods throughout the world. Condoms and the birth control pill were only 3.7 percent used and 1.3 percent used by women 15-49 years
China's One Child Policy was a very bad idea and should not have been implemented at all. If Chinese couples want to have as many kids as they want then instead of averting birth China should have to adapt to the changes and support the families. China could branch out or expand land for farming needs to support the increase of
Governments, corporations, and nongovernmental organizations are constantly working together to try and get rid of the 1 child law. By getting rid of this law, there will be a larger population throughout China which will be able to go into the different work fields that are available. There will also be a larger number to take care of the elderly and the overall population will increase.
Since 1980, China has made its people the subject of an intrusive and unfair, One Child Policy. This policy was the result of Chinese officials becoming worried of the countries jump in population from 1960 to 1980 causing a widespread lack of resources, so they decided to induct a law that would make force Chinese citizens to be limited to one child. Because of this controversial policy the question has been raised, did the one child policy positively or negatively effect China? The one child policy did negatively effect China and its people, because it resulted in gender discrimination, unjust punishments and was unnecessary due to the already declining fertility rate.
The one child policy was established in China in 1979 because the population was growing extremely fast. The one child policy is a law that prevents families from having more than one child. It only applies to the Han Chinese ethnic group, which makes up 90% of the Chinese population. Sibling-less parents are allowed to have two children. Some Chinese people are in favor of the one child policy (OCP) because their lives were made easier. Other people felt it was not fair to have their rights taken away. I think that the OCP was not a good idea because there’s not enough information to support that it was a good idea.
China’s One Child Policy was founded in 1949, this policy was founded upon the idea that China’s population was growing at an exponential rate (Doc B). China had one of the largest growing populations at over 150 million every year and with a population density of over 104 people/sq. km in rural areas and in cities up to 22,350/sq. km (Pop. Den.). China’s One Child Policy focuses on lowering the fertility rate of women and in turn lowers the population and population density, this is done by limiting most of the Chinese society to only having one child. China’s One Child Policy was a good idea because it focused on academic achievement, lessened the load on the environment and lowers fertility rates in women which then in turn lowers the already crowded Chinese population.
The final reason that the one-child policy was a bad idea is because of the fact that China’s fertility rate was already decreasing and was one of the lowest rates compared to Brazil, South Korea, and Thailand in 1979 making the policy pointless and unnecessary. “The claim by the Chinese officials that the one child policy has helped avert over 400 million births simply cannot be substantiated by
While china One child Policy was aimed for improvement, the policy has caused some serious social consequences. The New England Journal of Medicine 's article "The Effect of China 's One-Child Family Policy after 25 Years" discuss the social consequences of Chinas One child policy. The One child policy in china begin when Chinese governments viewed population containment as a benefit for living and economic improvement. They created a one child policy that limits the size of families, the policy also includes regulations regarding marriage, spacing and childbearing. The strict policy is controlled with rewards and penalties, it applies to minorities of china which are Urban residents and government employees with the exception of one-child families, first children with disabilities and workers in high-risk work settings. The policy three social consequences concerning population growth, the ratio between men and women, and the ratio between adult children and dependent elderly parents. Each social consequences causes disastrous results. The policy is a sex imbalance that creates social consequences. The sex imbalance is what causes the different social consequence with undesirable effects. The first social consequence is decrease in population growth. Population growth in china has declined in the past 25 years. The policy has prevented many births as stated in the article " Chinese authorities claim that the policy has prevented 250 to 300 million births. The total
China has one of the biggest populations in the world, and it will become a problem if untreated. China realised that it had a population problem and introduced its policy in 1980. China's one-child law: Was it a good plan? The one-child policy helped prevent millions of births, this may have saved china from a famine.
The one child policy was adopted to help improve economic, environment, and population problems in China. The policy was used to limits the number of children that couples can have. When , the law was introduced it was only supposed to help with the overpopulation but , it has caused many children to be left and abandoned. Although China has a population problem, the one child policy was not the right way to handle the situation.
“Even before its inception, the one child policy was question for its necessity and its enormous social costs.”(Document B Fertility Rates) China’s One Child Policy was established in 1980 and is still in action today. The One Child Policy was put into action due to the rising population rates. There is a controversial question that has been posed, is China’s One Child Policy a good or bad idea? After all of the evidence that was gathered the One Child Policy in China is not a good idea but does have some positive effects.
China and India are the two countries that have the highest population in the world. Both countries have realised that family planning and population control had to happen around the 1950's for India and the 1970's for China. This essay will seek to compare and contrast China and India, focusing on what the major problems facing both are, why have they both had to implement policies regarding population control, and the long-term and short-term effects that these policies have on the two countries.
In October 12, 1999, the world's population has reached to 6 billion people. about only 12 years later (October 31, 2011) the world has gone up to 7 billion. Many people on the planet are worried about the world population going too high. They fear that too many people would result in starvation and quick depletion of resources. Some people believe that we should have some type of law that would limit the number of children we can have in each family. Something similar has come true in China about 30 years ago. In September 25, 1980, China's One-Child Policy has been created. This policy keeps parents from having more than one baby with the exception of twins, triplets, quadruplets, and so on. Parents may also have
In the article Overpopulation Is Still the Problem, Alon Tal (2013) claims that overpopulation remains the number one problem facing the world today and discusses various problems and possible solutions. Tal unveils the falsely assuring news stories refuting overpopulation as a problem. He particularly dissects Ellis Erle’s assertions, in the New York Times, concerning China’s seemingly magical works of technology. Erle comes to the conclusion that China’s amazing technology has and will always be able to keep them out of any problems regarding overpopulation. Of course Tal is able to rhythmically rebut Erle’s claims by explaining that, “Anyone with a teaspoon of historic sensibilities about the country 's environmental history might want to mention its long litany of famines which occurred precisely because carrying capacities were consistently outstripped by a growing population”. Tal then goes on to explain other problems linked directly to overpopulation in China like the food crisis from 1958-1961 which led to the starvation of over 20 million people. He also discusses the Chinese one-child policy describing it as “tough medicine” although the application of the policy was flawed he depicts how it has prevented the next round of famines. Tal ties the China population problems into the rest of the article which is mainly about how quickly the world is growing and what we need to do about it. He presents distressing facts like 1 in 8 people in the world suffer from
One Child Policy is indeed such an effective way to reduce the country’s population although it still has its pros and cons (some say it led to an abortion). This policy also seems complicated. At first, or for starters if the mother gave birth to a baby girl, they are (the parents) allowed to have another child and makes sure that it’s a boy. Also this policy
The first thing I want to talk is One Child Policy, which is a population control method of People’s Republic of China. It establish in 1950s, and been treated as one of the basic policy in China. Chinese government try to use this method to control the baby boom after the World War II. “As the population rose further during the sixties and seventies, China found it increasingly difficult to feed everyone. Had the population growth remained unchecked, no one knows what kind of unrest or civil war would have shaped up. Not only has China managed to contain its population growth with the one child policy but it has managed to become a superpower with healthy citizens.”(NLCATP) China claims that it has prevented or averted four hundred million births in the last three decades, that’s much more than the population of the United States.China’s manpower was an advantage back at the time when Mao initiated rapid development and industrialization. Even today, China is the most populous country and the manufacturing hub of the world. One child
