One-Child Policy Is One Big Problem For China

     In this article "One-Child Policy Is One Big Problem for China," published in Newsweek, the author Susan Scutti explains the negative effects of the One-Child policy in China. In 35 years the government of China strongly demonstrates the importance of having just one healthy child. Late last year the China's National Congress eased the One-Child policy. Although the government didn't admit that it was a mistake! The making of a new law is permeating parents to have two children only if both parents were singletons.China outnumbered the US in 1949 by 149 million.  China was not the only place affected by this controversial situation, thee entire globe was affected by the one-child policy. When parents would have a son, the son in his older days would have to take care of the parents and the parents depended on their son. "Survival depends on sons, and daughters are only a burden." Medical technology had played a major role in making this surplus of boys. In over the next two decades it is expected that China will see steadily worsening sex ratios in the reproductive age group. In research 12-15% of young men will not marry. Countries all over the world have been crying out towards the government of China complaining about his one-child policy, China's more relaxed family planning laws and re-imagined social policy will help.
