China's One Child Policy
This is a scholarly article published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The Effect of China's One-Child Family Policy after 25 Years: China's one-child family policy has had a great effect on the lives of nearly a quarter of the world's population for a quarter of a century. When the policy was introduced in 1979, the Chinese government claimed that it was a short-term measure and that the goal was to move toward a voluntary small-family culture. In this article, we examine to what extent this goal has been achieved and the implications for the future of the policy.
