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.

By introducing China’s One-Child Policy (Family Planning Policy) in 1979, China hopes to decrease its country’s annual population growth. China has implemented the policy by many different

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 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

A final reason that the one-child policy was a bad idea is the fact that the country now faces problems, as a result of the policy. The graph is shown in Doc. A show an estimate for China's population of years 1950-2100. On the graph, when the one-child policy was implemented, the rates seemed to continue to increase at a rapid rate. This is due to Demographic Momentum , the tendency towards growing populations to continue to grow after a fertility decline . The number of people becoming adults was based on the number of births to the 1950s, not 1979, so the population would continue growing and then it will stop. This graph giver one more piece of evidence. After 2030 as it shows on the graph, the population begins to fall. China's population,

The One Child Policy should not be in place due to the fact that the fertility rate had already been dropping, it causes stress on the youth and traditions, and lacks basic human rights and even forces cruel and inhumane punishments such as abortion, sterilization or even fines In addition,The OCP may causes some (Income

However, China’s one child policy has been effective in some ways. Although, it is true that the

There has been a long history of China’s one child policy, since it was first introduces in 1979 by a Chinese Leader Deng Xiaoping (Rosenberg n.p). The law was meant to be temporary and used to control the population; however it is still in use today (Rosenberg n.p). When the policy was first enforced, it only

According to ChinaWaterRisk.org, “Experts project that water supply will not be able to meet demand by 2030 if China carries on with business as usual.” In 1949 China became a Communist nation and was taken control of by Mao Zedong. Mao believed humans were extremely precious and people should produce as much offspring as possible. The slogan “Late, Long, and Few,” meaning to marry late, wait long before having children, and have very few children, came into play when Mao realized the large increase in population. The Great Leap forward was introduced because Mao Zedong’s contained a goal to be economically even with other countries including the United States. Due to the estimated 30 million

Due to the one-child policy there are many serious human rights infractions. Since the policy has been in effect, there have been more than 400 million prevented births ("China:

Between 1959-1961 there was a great famine in China that got everyone's attention. Resources for such a large population were scarce. The government recognized that something had to be done about the population. Distribution of contraception's, promotion of late marriages, and two child families were all part of a post famine campaign by the government. This lasted less then four years as China's population began to increase again.

The one child policy only hurt China more due to its lowering fertility rate prior to the policy. “China had already achieved a remarkable fertility reduction, halving the number of children per women from 5.8 in 1970 to 2.7 in 1979.” (Document B) The facts shown here show that the policy was not necessary. In addition, since the population was already going

What is important to understand the One Child Policy is the reasoning behind it and what spurred the Chinese government to do something so drastic. When Mao Zedong’s communist rule was in full

It helped reduce child accouchements and cut back on pollution as well as forest. According to Brookings, document B, the “one-child policy” had succeeded by cutting its original 5.8 number of children per woman in 1970 in half by 2008 with an astonishing 2.7. The Chinese officials

The ultimate goal of the one-child policy was to reduce the fertility rate in order to improve the living standards of the people. The average living standard was intended to increase by having less people to share the country’s resources, as well as diminish the negative consequences of overpopulation such as food shortage, unemployment, overwhelming of public services and lack of housing.
