One of the strictest policies any country in the world had come up with is China’s one child policy in 1979 after a multidecade population boom was followed by mass deaths due to food shortages, is for revision in 2011 wherein a second child could be allowed per family if at least one spouse is an only child.

China is now looking to increase its population ages based on a need for workers.

Most urban couples are limited to a single child while farmers are often allowed two especially if the first child is a girl.

This one child policy had seen a lot of abuses including abortions and gender imbalance with the possibility of 24 million more men of marriageable age than women in 2020 which heralds incidences of women buying, abduction, trafficking, prostitution and pornography.

Incidences of a couple having three or more children had been recently possible if the couple can pay the fine.

Yet, even if fines would be lifted some Chinese are fearing that the rising costs of raising a child plus taking care of ageing parents would be as quite effective as the one child policy in restricting the number of children any Chinese could have.
