    The document summarizes China's one-child policy, which was implemented to control China's high population. The policy limits urban families to one child in order to prevent the birth of 400 million people over three decades. Historically, China depended on agriculture and more children meant more wealth for families. Now, families with only one child receive benefits from the government, such as easier access to healthcare services. The Chinese government has no plans to end the one-child policy in the foreseeable future.

    China: one-child policy


    China has always had a high population and that is because China before 1900
    depended a lot on agriculture, which means that the more kids, the more wealth. In
    2008 China had way more people than any other country in the world. To solve this
    problem and lower the population the Chinese government would limit the population by
    following the one-child policy. It is estimated that this policy will prevent the birth of 400
    million over three decades. Families with one child can live better because they have
    more benefits than bigger families, for example they have easier access for health
    services. In the foreseeable future, the Chinese government has no intentions to stop the
    one-child policy.
