    Fertility is the ability to conceive children. Throughout the existence of humanity, fertility is what created populations of both animals and humans. Fertility rate is “the number of live births per 1,000 female population aged 15 to 49 years”(eLearning, Fertility and Fecundity). Different countries have different fertility rates, which can be caused by different cultural beliefs, living conditions, wealth, etc. Fertility rates have an effect on many things such as the economy, politics, and culture. Within a country, fertility rates often differ the most between rural and urban areas. Japan, a country in Asia, has a fertility rate lower than the country’s death rate along with a low immigration rate, which is causing a decrease in the population.…

    One reason that the one-child policy was an excellent idea is that the population was decreasing. Document A shows a steady population decline from 1980-2010 this will continue until 2030. Also, the policy has prevented a humongous birth rate and leaves more food and resources for the population (Document E). This evidence supports the claim that the one-child policy is helping China’s…

    Ever Since 1980, it has been a debate in China whether or not the one-child policy was a good idea. The one-child policy was implemented in 1980 which limits each couple in China to one child. Minority ethnic groups are sometimes allowed two or three children. This policy only applies to Hans Chinese, the ethnicity that makes up about 90% of China. This had left many wondering: was this beneficial at all? It was a good idea because the children were happier, had better opportunities, and more resources were available.…

    In 1949, Mao Zedong governed China from nineteen forty nine to nineteen seventy six. Chinas population was poor at the time and the government was running out of ways to help chinas economy fix itself. China was in a dire need for a change. So Mao decided that he would encourage families to have more and more children. His logic was that the more people birthed would mean more workers to work on farms, ensuing a stronger China. He wanted China to thrive and surpass the richer nations. Mao did not realize this at the time but China was about to become one of the most overpopulated countries to exist. After he helped China get on its feet he decided to make a drastic change called the Great Leap Forward. The goal of the Great Leap Forward was to change China from a lush traditional country to a hard, steel producing nation. This recoiled on him and his people started starving because China was not importing enough food to support the growing population, causing thirty million deaths. He needed to fix this problem and fast. His solution was to slow down the growing birth rate with the slogan “Late, long, and few.” The idea behind the slogan was for couples to marry late and have few children. After this, the fertility rate in China was cut in half in only nine years. This decrease in fertility rate did not settle well with the government so the Chinese government implemented the -one-child policy to further decrease the fertility rate. The one-child policy was a policy that banned the Han Chinese, which makes up 90% of Chinas population, from having more than one child. (Background Essay.) Despite the harsh measures it took to put the one-child policy in place, research has shown that the policy has boosted the self esteem of children and saved the environment by increasing the water amount per capita.…

    A devastating food famine beginning in 1959 resulted in the death of 30 million Chinese citizens. Introduced in 1980 by the Communist Party, and lasting until 2015, China’s one child policy was an attempt to not only avoid food shortages, but to patch up the country’s past mistakes involving overpopulation and birth control. The one child policy acted as a human social experiment, and limited the majority of Chinese couples to have only one child each. Since this policy affected millions of Chinese citizens, positive and negative outcomes followed soon after implementation. An ongoing question many still ask is, “Was China’s One-Child Policy a Good Idea?” China’s temporary one child policy was…

    China’s government had always had the problem of finding a way to provide for its large population. After the death of Mao in the 1970s, China finally realized that if the economy or the standard of living were ever going to improve, they would need to reduce China’s massive population. Thus, in the 1980s, the One Child Policy was introduced as a solution but did China make the right choice by limiting parents to only one child? After giving much thought to the subject, I do believe it was the right choice.…
