One Child Policy Research Paper

After c. 1949 when China built The People’s Republic of China, Chinese government leader Zedong Mao published a policy called “More people have more power”. Therefore, the population of China has increased fast until c. 1978. On the beginning of the year of c.1978, Chinese government finally found the serious problems from the huge population. Even though Chinese government stopped that policy, China already had 1.2 billion people. The government faced the burden of having a large population, so another policy had published which was the “One Child Policy” or “Birth Control”. (China Ends Notorious, p1-3) Just as these two names implied, “One Child Policy” or “Birth Control” order all Chinese couples to control giving birth and set the limitation
The lowly Chinese health care problem can be classified by two reasons, which are not enough sources to use even though the government spends more and more every year and a too closely packed population. However, everyone knows each of these two reasons is attached to the large population problem. “The Chinese Health System at a Crossroads” shows that Chinese health system has to serve three point two billion sick people in one year, but it can really only serve just two point four billion sick people per year. Therefore, there are eight hundred million sick people cannot get treatments every year. (Winnie p460-469) However, another research study form “Wish for Africa” shows that Chinese health care system has an advantageous position in the world which means the Chinese health care system is excellent, but cannot be used properly due to the large population. Compare these two pieces of information, and the result is that the huge number of Chinese people puts huge pressure on the Chinese government to care for its people. For example, 2008 Si Chuan province Wen Chuan county earthquake, China almost maneuvered all the possible resources to support disaster areas, but China still needed lager amount of international aids. The reason was the number of stricken people was forty six million. There were too much people needed help. Had all the Chinese known
The Chinese society problem was shown on a website which had a research study about the biggest limitation of Chinese employment and the result is that almost two hundred million people will get no job and maybe a hundred and thirty million people get jobs that they do not like, and these numbers are still increasing every day. (“Chinese Sociology”) For example, a quarter of my high school (which is very good high school in China) classmates found jobs with about four thousand U.S. dollars salary per year. And a half of them are unemployed after they graduate from universities. Rests of them are still in school. This information really shows the hard situation in China right now. More than a half new graduated students cannot find jobs, so government decided to lower the retire age in China to provide more opportunities to these young people. This decision can temporary lighten the pressure from employment problem, but it not really solve the original problem and will waste a huge amount of money for the personnel adjustments. Also, China can support those “extra” people for their living costs, but it is not a good for them because the money for them is from all the taxpayer. This amount of money can be used for many national needs such as education, endowment insurances and technological funds. Therefore, the employment problem should be solved by
