Case Study: China's One Child Policy
Subjects / Geography / Population, Resources and Tourism
China currently has the largest population of any country in the world - over a sixth of the world's population lives there. Yet as a land mass, China occupies only about seven percent of the Earth's land surface, and much of that is uninhabitable due to the many mountainous and desert areas. China's One Child Policy, which started in 1979, has been successful in preventing about 300 million births, a similar number to the entire population of the USA. But it has had far-reaching and unintended consequences, and some people feel very strongly that the policy is flawed. This case study examines China's One Child Policy in detail and considers some of the issues surrounding it.
