what does one-child policy means?

Answer 1

In China couples are only allowed to have one child to control the population. If they have more than one they can be fined or jailed. That is why they have so many little girl orphans over there. Most Chinese families want to have a son to carry on the family name and they are only allowed to have one child, so if it ends up being a girl they abandon it or worse. It is very sad.

Answer 2

Here you go :-)

The Planned Birth policy is the birth control policy of the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC). It is known in Western society as the One-child Policy due to the required payment of a "social compensation fee" for couples having more than one child in urban areas. China's pandemic overpopulation problem, with the associated social and environmental problems, stimulated the government to take strong unique measures in population planning policy. The policy is controversial both within and outside China due to allegations of extreme methods such as forced abortions and other human rights abuses by the local authorities.

Answer 3

One Child Policy - In simple terms is that every family can have only one child regardless it is a male or female.

Answer 4

In some countries, like China, that have a population overgrowth, they have a one-child policy, meaning one child per family.

The thinking is that at two children per family you maintain the population (think mother and father), at three children per family you grow the population, but at no more than one child per family you limit the population and it will eventually shrink.
