One Child Policy China   [LEDC] Hannah Emm =)
During the 1940’s the Chinese government encouraged people to have large families, to gain  military strength  and for the people to help with  agricultural production ... Farming... Soldiering...
This led to  OVERPOPULATION   in china... It was estimated that the population increased by  55 million every 3 years!!
During the 1950’s and 1960’s the Chinese government tried to address the problem by encouraging people to have fewer children... Average family sizes fell from 5 children per family to 3 children...
However, this still wasn’t enough as the population was still growing at a rapid rate. China introduced the:  ONE CHILD POLICY In 1979. The marriageable age was also changed to tackle overpopulation... 22 for men and 20 for women!
The One Child Policy stated that couples must apply for a certificate before they were allowed to have a child...
The Chinese government  provided housing, food ,  education and health services  for those who cooperated with the One Child Policy...
Many people  did not cooperate  with the One Child Policy and found themselves receiving no help from the state, and often having to pay large fines...
Women who became pregnant a second time were usually  forced to have an abortion  and were  “offered sterilisation” ...
“ Granny Police”  – older people, were employed to spy on younger generations to make sure they were adhering to the rules of the One Child Policy. Contraception  and  Family Planning  were often forced on people against their will.

The HAN The Han are allowed a second child if the first is  MENTALLY  or  PHYSICALLY  handicapped. In  RURAL  areas the Han were generally allowed to have a second child if the first child was a  GIRL . This was because few people checked in rural areas. Bribes were accepted in rural areas for the spies to keep quiet if they spotted a “two child” family.
Ethnic Minorities Ethnic minorities were allowed two children in rural areas, and sometimes up to four if no-one was checking. The government didn't want ethnic minorities to die out and in rural areas they needed them to work on farms... If a parent was an only child they could have more than one child but were subject to birth spacing [3 or 4 years]
Opposition  to the One Child Policy grew, particularly in rural areas...  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Baby girls were colloquially known as “maggots in the rice” – unwanted.
The One Child Policy has had a number of different  EFFECTS , including: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Failure ,[object Object],[object Object]
What does the  FUTURE   hold? “  The policy was intended for one generation only”  The words of a Chinese politician. The policy has been relaxed  in recent years and there has been a trial in 300 districts where families are allowed more than 1 child although they still have to apply for permission... They can now have  2 children.
