The Worst Good Idea: Research on China’s One-child Policy

Population growth has been a serious problem in human society for a long time due to limited resources and space on the earth. As the third largest country in the world, China has one-fifth of the world's population. Chinese people once thought that the more people there are, the stronger the country is. Therefore, from 1962 to 1980, China 's baby boom, the population of China increased from 665 million to 981 million. The dramatic increase in the population causes many problems such as environmental pollution, traffic congestion, lack of supply of water and food.

This is a unique situation in China. Due to one-child policy in the late 1970s, the population of China declined rapidly. Recently, in order to replace China's declining population, the Chinese government replaced this policy with the policy of two children. And let people stabilize and stabilize. In Singapore, the population has increased or decreased indefinitely, so the government began implementing programs such as "stop by two places", "If there is room afford, three or more children work" and "Love boat".

In 1979, the Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, established a single child policy of China. Because China is facing a rapid population increase, China's one-child policy is to limit population growth in China. Essentially, this policy limits that a couple has only one child, and that it will pay a fine to people with two or more children. This policy certainly has controversy for several reasons. First of all, there has never been a case where the government controls its social and historical population. Therefore, we can hardly predict what will happen after applying this policy. Second, population surge is not only a problem for China, it is also a problem for people around the world. Do all governments in the world finally need to manage their population? In the distant future, this is not a problem, but it will be in the near future. This policy has produced various results such as gender discrimination and aging problem.

China's one-child policy has caused many problems, but people are eager to know if this is a good idea first. Of course, it greatly reduced population growth rate, but the number of infant deaths took over. Chinese women are obliged to give up their children and even they are beaten at times. Men are still dominant gender and have the power of the last name behind them. Tradition always lives in China, boys are always essential. You must use the last name, the only way is through men.
