Question 7

Evaluate the Chinese government's policies to decrease population growth.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

China’s population-control policies were effective in lowering fertility and slowing population growth, which reduced short-term pressure on food, housing, employment, public services, and environmental resources. However, the one-child policy was enforced through penalties and, in some cases, forced abortions and sterilizations, violating reproductive rights. It also contributed to sex-selective practices, a shortage of women, rapid population aging, and a shrinking workforce. China later replaced it with two-child and three-child policies, but fertility has remained low because of the high costs of raising children and changing social expectations. Thus, the policies achieved their immediate demographic goal but imposed severe human-rights and long-term demographic costs.
