The one-child policy is the population control policy (or planned birth policy) of the People's Republic of China (PRC). The Chinese government introduced the policy in 1979 to alleviate the social and environmental problems of China.
The policy is controversial both within and outside China because of the issues it raises. Is the policy key to controlling China's population?
 
China's "one child" policy is key to stabilizing global population growth Global population growth is considered by many to be a crisis. With 1.3 billion people, a fifth of the world's population, China must be a major part of the solution to the global population crisis. "One child" is a pillar of this global solution.
 
The one child family policy was developed and implemented in response to concerns about the social and economic consequences of continued rapid population growth
Implementation was more successful in urban areas than rural areas
Social and economic reforms have made rigorous implementation of the policy more difficult
The main criticism of the policy is its stimulus to discrimination against females, who may be aborted, abandoned, or unregistered
The policy has eased some of the pressures of rapid population increase on communities, reducing the population by at least 250 million
