China's One Child Policy
Phatcharapol Mongkolkamarat

China’s One Child Policy The number of people in China was already high making the economy for the country very bad as they had to use their money to build schools and more health care as there was so many people. The number of people also meant that there was less jobs for people and with no money people started to starve and slowly die from poverty and famine. There was even a time where the death went up to 40 million people because of no food source making the government have to quickly make a family planning for the country before anything got worst. As the population got bigger, the pollution in the country got bigger too , making it an unhealthy place to live in. More cars mean more gas pollution and humans breathe in the gas making it unhealthy. With more people, you also need more resources which put many people into farming which doesn’t develop the country further. This also means cutting down more trees ruining the environment even further not to mention that the companies have to put more waste into the sea making it dangerous and killing the fishes which also reduces the food income making them bring in imports which increases the price of food. This is why the government had to change the policy before further chaos.
With more people there is a fight for resources and food, increasing the price of food, land and housing. This also means that there are not enough jobs for the amount of people making the price of jobs go down and people jobless. With no money or jobs, there is no money for sufficient health and medical care increasing the amounts of death rates and if the death rates reach a peak there will be jobs with no one doing it decreasing the income of the country there decreasing the development the country was progressing.
The one child policy created doors of possibility for the government and country to improve which makes China more powerful and people there more obedient as there are

    Between the years of 1929 and 1939, many people worldwide was devastated and desperate due to the Great Depression. American citizens often starved with having little to no food in their homes. The Dust Bowl left many with dried-up, withered away crops. The drought affected farmers and their fields greatly. With the stock market crash of 1929, 659 banks closed. Depositors were left with nothing. The financial gains from the previous year were gone. Many suicides were committed; businessmen did not want to live with what lay ahead of them. Due to the Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act, European countries no longer wanted to buy American-made items due to the increased tariffs. This would result in egregious conditions, leaving many Americans hopeless. Soon, the Depression would become worldwide.…

    Supporting a growing population requires more resources and it’s a problem when you have people coming in by the millions. The increase of population puts strain on our nation by finding diplomatic solutions to food, materials and space. The amount of food we would have to produce to feed the growing population of the U.S. would create problems. Our resource base has started shrinking rapidly throughout the years. Immigration causes 3 major things to happen to natural resources. First, a large amount of immigration leads to a greater use of natural resources. Second it causes prices of raw materials to rise. Third, it requires creating timely and costly research for diplomatic solutions to substitute the…

    With couples having only one child, this would help reduce the population drastically. However, over the years, the one child policy hasn’t been taken as seriously as it was before. Instead of forcing the people of China to follow the one child policy, one could advertise it. One could do this by making having one child more appealing and preferable. For example, the government can make healthcare more expensive, or increase the fees of private schools, and public schools. Doing so, would mean that the parents of two children would have to pay much more than the parents of one. This, making having one child more preferable, economically. Yes, this would be very controversial, to not only the people of China, but the world. But, so is the one child policy. You can’t satisfy everyone.…

    Since the Industrial Revolution, when the standard of living increased significantly, there has been rapid population growth. Many countries, including the United States, have enough land and resources in order to comfortably support the growing population. Some countries, however, simply have more people than can be comfortably supported—like China. China’s population—a staggering 1.3 billion people—accounts for about 20% of the world’s population, housed in a relatively small space! Because of that, during the 1970’s, China implemented measures to limit their population—most famously the One-Child Policy. The One-Child policy, in simplest terms, limited each family to having only one child. However, there were many exceptions to this policy. Additionally, there were other, more sinister methods used to control the population. While China’s population control methods were effective at limiting the population, policies like the One-Child Policy caused societal issues, led to higher rates of sex-selected abortions and infanticide and violated human rights principles.…

    Without land to farm for food he people are forced to work cheap labor to make a little money. When the great depression hit as many as 80,000 young people were forced to the Gold coast to try and get a job. Food was suppose to be cheap so they could buy it with their wages, their imported food ruined local food production they became dependent on imported foods and didn’t know what to do if the supply was interrupted in anyway, they had nothing to fall back on because they were not growing any food. I think after awhile of this that generations down the line did not even know how to farm food production so I think this is why so many are starving today, maybe they need to be taught how to do it they did it once before.…
