Compared to other countries, even after China implemented the one-child policy, its fertility rates did not go down by that much. An example of this is from Document B which shows: "Comparative Fertility Rates - 1979: Brazil 4.2, China 2.7, South Korea 2.9, Thailand 3.6. Comparative Fertility Rates - 2008: Brazil 1.9, China 1.7, South Korea 1.2, Thailand 1.8." Another example from Document B is "China’s one child policy may have hastened a fertility decline that was already well in progress, but it is not the main force accounting for China’s low fertility today. Most of China’s fertility decline occurred prior to the one-child policy. In countries without a forceful and costly policy like China’s, birth rates have declined with similar trajectories and magnitude." This evidence supports the claim that the one-child policy was a bad policy because it didn't have any notable effects on China's fertility rate. The one-child policy was completely unnecessary because it did not make any positive changes. If China had never implemented the one-child policy and instead tried to figure out what other countries such as Brazil, South Korea, and Thailand did to get their fertility rates so low, their fertility rates would most likely be right where they want it at. This is how China's one-child policy had no notable impact on their fertility rate, and why it was an unnecessary policy to
