One-child policy

One child generation in China: the spoon-fed, the burdened In October, 2015, to combat the aging society and labor shortage, China announced the end of its 30 years one-child policy, leaving people born in the 1980s and 1990s the only one-child generation. The one child policy was brought forward to control the growth of Chinese population in 1982 by Deng Xiaoping, the successor Chinese Chairman after Mao Zedong. At that time, the 2.67 birth rate and a population of 1 billion pressured Chinese…

these countries has been attributed to neglect of the girl child, sex-selective abortion and infanticide. Additionally, the increase in female income into the share total of the household income has been…

Personally, I deem the one baby policy in china as intolerable, because a women cannot control when she becomes pregnant. Even contraception does not always work. I believe that there should be no policy to how many children a couple are permitted to have. Bit do you agree with me ? In china they brought in a new policy about 30 years ago in 1979 which indicates that couples can only have one child. But if a couple has a child that is born with birth defects or major health problems the the…

children you can have. In order to pass on the family name, it is necessary to produce a male child. According to The Population Research Institute, there are millions of girls that are missing around the world and a large part of that reason is because they have been aborted solely on the fact that they are female (pop.org, Sex-Selective Abortion). When it comes to examining ethical issues like this one, it is important to look at relativism. Relativism is the idea that what you find morally…

exposed about China’s one child policy and how offsetting it is to not only the economy but to the culture in China. Due to the one child policy in China, there will soon be an offset of 30 million more men than women. This is due not only to the one child policy but also because of the off balanced want for boys vs. girls in China. So when a family has a girl when they really wanted a boy they sometimes would kill or let the baby die. That fact accompanied with the one child policy is the…

U.S. to others, it is one of the most fortunate in it’s ability to take down as many of its own incidents because of the military and patriotism present. Unfortunately, other countries aren't as privileged. Because of this, it is a given that it is up to the U.S. to provide help and support to make the world a better place.…

is driven by country policy. Everyone might know what abortion is but they clearly go about it differentially throughout multiple countries, but China has the highest rate of abortions. In America, women have many reasons for getting their abortions. For example, in America a twenty-year-old woman can always keep her baby, or she might feel like she is not ready and will have an abortion. On the other hand, are usually forced to have an abortion due to government policy. In this country,…

Imagine a society where having more than one child could lead to severe penalties, such as forced abortions and sterilizations. Sadly, this was the reality for millions of Chinese citizens under the one-child policy. In 1980, China formed a program known as the one-child policy to control their rapidly increasing population. This meant that almost all Chinese families were now restricted to only having one child. Nearly three decades later, the one-child policy finally ended. Beyond its…

Population control or no population control? This is an argument that is now being brought to our attention worldwide. Yes, there are problems with each choice, but one could say that population control takes away everyone’s God-given right to reproduce. As humans, everyone must take in consideration the belief of others. While it is true that our world is being overpopulated, polluted, and being struck by crime, everyone must remember the freedom all humans deserve to have. There will be…

the One Child Policy were that there would be a significant increase in the dependency rate of the elderly over the next 25-30 years, there would be a large gender imbalance and the Chinese working class would eventually grow old and ‘expire.' It is believed that a more liberal policy may have been more effective in tackling China’s demographic problems. Under the assumption that deriving such a policy in China was a more liberal process, we will evaluate an alternative to the One Child Policy…
