One Child Policy

China One Child Policy was a policy that told everybody instead for a handful of families that they were only allowed to have one child or face consequences. The policy was put forth to try and dumb down the population numbers as it was becoming a problem because China could not feed or supply their population with water for a while. The policy was enacted 1979 and taken away in 2015 due to acceptable numbers.

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.

Document A shows that in 1980 over 950 million citizens occupied China, but by 2010 over 1200 million citizens. This led to many individuals believing the one-child policy to have no affect on the population growth. When in reality it dropped fertility rates and created a stable population rate. Conversely the children born in China in the 80s, lived fortunate lives. As stated by A.J Song in document F, “My parents, they give me everything. I’m the center of attention in my family.” He goes on to say that the more kids a couple has, the more average their kids become do to their lack of educational, emotional and financial support. Being an only child in families allowed parents to acknowledge their one kid. It increased the education level of china, with less kids around parents and teachers more acceptably devoted more

How would most people feel if the United States enforced laws about having kids? If we as a society don’t change either how we live or the laws involving children, we will have generations of people using Uncle Sam as a crutch. The rate of births among women ages 15 to 44 increased by 1% from 2013 to 2014, the first increase since 2007, which might be a trend that if we don’t fix this problem soon so many more might grow up that way. One in five children receives food stamps or some kind of aid so says the census bureau. Mandatory laws on having children should be enforced in the United States because of the high amount of government supported children, and the number of questionable parent(s).

Mike Revzin, a journalist who lived in China, he assist the American population to learn more about China with his ChinaSeminars.com programs. It appeared that the Chinese government was continually interfering into family planning across China. The one child policy is not the first time. Mao Zedong, who served as chairman of the People's Republic of China from 1949 to 1959, encouraged the population to multiply and create manpower, shortly after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. He was born on December 26, 1893, in Shaoshan, Hunan Province, China. He served as, and led the Chinese Communist Party from 1935 until his death. The government condemned females from taking contraceptives and even banned the import of some

The Simcoe County council is currently focusing on providing financial assistance for child care fees to those in poverty (County of Simcoe, 2014c). Simcoe county should make a revision to the current plan using a family impact lens to ensure that all families in poverty with children are able to access afford childcare. The policy should be that if the family falls under the low-income poverty rate of Ontario and is employed then they should be allowed to pay only 7$ for childcare. This recommendation aligns with the province of Quebec, as Quebec is the only province in Canada that supplies 7$ a day childcare for the entire population of Quebec, not just those in poverty (Anderssen and Mackrael, 2013). The pros

After reading the article, I have come to the opinion that childfree people have legit reasons to not conceive or birth children and their reasons are not just completely black & white choices for their decision. In the article “Childfree by Choice” by Kelly J. Welch, goes well in depth in the increasing growth of young people deciding to not have children. The article brings in factual evidence and intriguing viewpoints that percentages of young or childless adults in modern has a high jump compares to it’s past recordings. The evidence in the article shows multiple reasons theses people chosen this option, but brings up three prominent and logical opinions on what lead to them choosing to not have children. I understand and relate to this topic more than anything else, for I am a young adult myself trying to find my place in this world and one of the main things in my head that constantly comes up is the potential to become a parent later on down the future. Also I am witnessing an increase of my former high school peers becoming parents at very young ages, where an average citizen would think these next generation has much more to give than being a parent right now. So with this thought into my brain I taken the three reasons that interest me to why some people don’t want kids, which are timing, career, and personality.

In 1979, China’s PRC (Peoples Republic of China) introduced a policy that continues to be one of the most controversial issues of its kind still today. The policy remains “Chinas One-Child Policy.” It was set into place with the end goal of controlling a spiraling growth in Chinas population. China consumes roughly 20% of the total world population, but remains having 13% arable land. About one tenth of Chinas land is contaminated. China’s ecological footprint has been on the rise for 15 years now, and has grown passes the United States giving it the largest ecological footprint in the world.

I agree with your idea on a one child policy, there are many benifits to this system. The population increases would be steady. There unemployment rate would decrease, less people would ensure there are many job availabilities. The economy would be steady, this would take away a great amount of government assistance and increase full assistance to families, this would create a steady economy.Only having one child could create a better quality of life for families across the country, from healthcare to education. There would be less people in need of education so fedearl assistance could be made possible for many student.

In Beijing, China a girl named Li Xue was born. She was a happy, ordinary looking girl, but you couldn’t guess when looking at her that she was living with a secret. Or that she was, in fact, the secret. Li Xue was a second child. Here in America that is be normal. Most of us have siblings, and some of us even are the second child. But in China that is very uncommon. China made a law in 1979 stating every family could have no more than one child. If you break this law you can have to pay up to one million yuan in fines. (which is the equivalent of $145,619 American dollars). So Li Xue had to spend all of her childhood indoors, where no one could find her. One might ask oneself, why would China have a law on having children? The cause, population

Decades passed and at any point China was either in a quarrel with itself or some other nation. While not intending to do this, their country seemed to be getting weaker and weaker with each war. A situation arose in China during the 1920’s between two parties. This dispute brought out a civil war that would last until 1949. Two parties were involved. The Nationalist Party, led by Jiang Jiehsi, and the Communist Party, led by Mao Zedong. Jiang Jiehsi was raised in a middle class family and followed his values by making his party seem appealing and more beneficial towards middle class workers. His system of government, however was not attractive towards the Chinese peasants. This was the key factor in the fate of the party and China itself. The second party, the Communist Party, leaned more to the impoverished side of China. Mao believed that he could gain much more strength and popularity by stemming his party in the peasants. His reforms included literacy programs and better their food manufacturing. Mao and Jieng battled it out, but Mao’s Communist Party

Imagine being the only girl in a classroom full of boys and being able to get whatever you want in life. This is what life is like for some in China. China's one child policy is a bad policy because of the male to female ratio, forced abortions, and Little Emperors Syndrome in many only children.
