Pros And Cons Of China's One Child Policy

Control over residents in any nation can sometimes be brutal, but these old Chinese Communists take it to the next level and seem to cause a lot of depression. China’s One Child Policy was created to limit how many children a family can have due to large numbers of citizens, young and old. Although this seemed like a great idea at the time, what will this really do for them over the years and how will this affect humanity in the future? From the looks of it, China’s One Child Policy did have its pros and cons, but the arrangement did start having more terrible effects on families and children. When the One Child Policy was put into effect, populations were still rising over the years and still rise today, however, this didn’t exactly mean it wouldn’t work. United Nations estimate that by 2030 China will reach the peak of its population, reaching almost 1400 million civilians in their entire nation. Now, that is an extremely big issue when it comes to having enough resources for everyone but the United Nations believe that by 2100, China will have less than a thousand million living in their population. Leaders start to become concerned with how long it will take in order for the numbers to lower and how they will do it. Otherwise, what will cause it? Loss of resources, less jobs and poor.
Eventually these people will die. After the Creation of the One Child Policy, the Chinese people have had their agree/disagreements towards it.
Leaders have also had been cautious toward their new laws, but what's the problem?; Was there a flaw in their great plan? Many flaws, in fact, too many. Children have lived the only child life, soaking up all the attention and love from their parents. Though, these children weren’t as happy as the American children (for example). Some of these children were actually living very lonely lives, wishing they had another little brother or sister to play with. Even though those children wished for a better life, adults were questioning how they would live during retirement.
W e already know today that not many would like to help the elderly and back then, not many being able to help wasn’t beneficial in the first place. If you’d ask any child, teen or adult who had to live with the policy, you might get an answer of either “I loved the attention and help as a child.” or “I wished I had more siblings to get my parents off my back.”. A little more than 50% answered with the second statement, mainly because of the lonely life they lived. Some of those people (if born into a minority or ethnic group) could have had more than one sibling, but the One Child Policy does have its rules. No more than one child per family, any child that has been given birth to will result in fine towards the parents of that child or abortion/sterilization. If you ask anyone else, you’re most likely going to get a reply back about not wanting to be able to produce offspring for ever or being fined a hefty amount of money but some of these people didn't care at all. Though, just because there were rules to this policy, it doesn't mean it was reinforced. The One Child Policy wasn’t a complete failure because it did create lots of resources for the next generation and on. And even if it's still continuing today, hopefully it will not come to our nation. Large rates of depression would occur and loneliness would spread all around. There are many forms of population control that we may/may not see, but we can guarantee that the One Child Policy was a complete fail on the Chinese people’s part. But who knows, maybe this nation will become one of the greatest population of all time.
