A couple of articles on China's family planning

Family planning policy saves China 300 mln births: China's total fertility rate has dropped to around 1.8 since the nation started to exercise its family planning policy in the 1970s, which is 1.2 or 1.3 points lower than other countries or regions of the same economic development level and has saved China the birth of 300 million people.

Population program "much more than" fertility control: Chinese population program is not merely a fertility control program as many people believe, but "much more than that" with a number of "positive developments", a United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) said.
