China and The One Child Policy

China's One Child Policy, implemented to control population growth, resulted in significant demographic challenges, including a gender imbalance with millions more men than women and an aging population. The policy was replaced by a two-child policy in 2015 and then a three-child policy in 2021 to address these issues, but concerns remain about its effectiveness and the societal implications of a declining birth rate. Critics argue that the three-child policy has not successfully incentivized families to have more children and may lead to further complications in the future.

Write your evaluation report, outlining the key points of the
One Child Policy that you have learnt about.

Key points to remember and use:

• The one-child policy slowed the rise in population in China, but it also brought big problems
too.
• Millions of baby girls have been abandoned, or aborted, so that people could try for boys. In
2007, 120 boys were born for every girl. In 2020 there are 30 million more men than women.
• Millions of men will not be able to find wives as there is not enough women which has led to
human trafficking of brides from abroad.
• The policy was ended in 2015 and replaced with the two-child policy.
• China has too many men, too many old people, and too few young people.
• if people don’t start having more children, they’re not going to have enough people to
work to support a huge aging population
• The policy was replaced with the three child policy in 2021
