Has China's one-child policy worked?


Since the regulations were introduced in 1979, China has kept its population in check using persuasion, coercion and encouragement. This has resulted in an increasing proportion of older people, a smaller workforce to look after them and a disproportionate number of boys to girls. Higher and Int 2 will be covering this topic soon and S grade shortly. Good idea to read up on this article to see the impact of the policy.
