A 2 Child per Couple Upgrade in China

Chinese one-child policy abolished in fear of graying of population.

The abolishment of “one child policy” in China was officially confirmed. This was done in fear of a “graying society” says the Washington Post. The population was mostly based of elderly people and that was a little bit of a problem. This decision was made after a long meeting with the Communist Party leadership were the discussion involved labor shortages and rapid rising number of elders straining the future economy of the country. The Chinese introduced the infamous rule in the 1980’s; it led to huge fines along with forced sterilizations and abortions. China’s sex ratio changed massively as people tended to abort girls making the ratio of women to men completely unproportional. According to the Washington Post a student from The University of California named Wang Feng warned the country that the “one-child policy would cause a demographic precipice” questioning the legitimacy of the Communist Party. Although it is final that couple’s in China will be allowed to have two children it is unknown when the new policy will officially take action. This can decrease the number of abortions and sterilizations of women and can also level the population.
