The One Child Policy.
- During Mao Zedong's communist leadership during the 1940's he promoted the idea that a 'larger population gives a stronger nation' and as a result China's population grew at a rapid rate. However, with a lack of arable land and only 1/4 of the worlds average water supply available, 20 million people died as a consequence of famine. To tackle the increasing population problem the Chinese government decided promote anti-natal propaganda and the 'Wan-xi-Shao' policy.
- WAN-XI-SHAO: This policy which ran from 1974-1979 promoted the mantra 'Later, Longer, Fewer' which encourage later marriages, longer gaps between offspring and fewer children. This policy was successful but they decided a stronger policy would need to be enforced and as a result the 1979 One Child Policy was introduced.
- ONE CHILD POLICY: This policy allowed twins and other multiples but only allowed couples to have one successful pregnancy. To enforce this they promised financial incentives and preferential access to housing, health services and schools. However, this only applied to the Hans Chinese and not ethnic minorities and tribes, which ultimately resulted in conflict and inequality.
- Ultimately it has prevented 400 million births, the growth rate has decreased to 0.7% and fertility rates dropped to 1.8%. Also it has benefitted the economy and families now have more money; more money equals less poverty and less famine.
- However, it has created a high dependency ratio and a gender imbalance of 100 females to every 105 males. Currently, males outweigh females by 60 million. Also there's the occurrence of Little Emperor Syndrome and the 4-2-1 system which have negative effects on the Chinese society.
- Because of the gender imbalance and lack of working aged people to care for the dependent, China once more found itself in a difficult postion., And as a result they introduced the Second Child policy in November 2013, which allowed couples to have a second child provided the parents themselves were single children. This not only solved the ageing population but created equality amogst the Chinese citizens.
- Also by 2020 60% of China's resources will be exploited and there's still a lot of work to be done.
