My personal thought is that China's 'One Child Policy' was short-sighted, not able to foresee the future where there will be too much dependent population relative to the working population. Now, they are making changes that can overcome the incoming problem of overpopulation of old population.Sunday, November 17, 2013
China's Short-Sighted 'One Child Policy' Backfires
Recently, China has made their 'One Child Policy' more flexible. With the establishment of 'One Child Policy' in 1970 and the statistics estimated that about 400 million babies were prevented from birth. However, China now faces aging population but few young population to look after the aging population, which led to the modification of 'One Child Policy'My personal thought is that China's 'One Child Policy' was short-sighted, not able to foresee the future where there will be too much dependent population relative to the working population. Now, they are making changes that can overcome the incoming problem of overpopulation of old population.
