Although designated a temporary measure, it continues a quarter-century after its establishment. The policy limits couples to one child

Content: It is not an all-encompassing rule because it has always been restricted to ethnic Han Chinese living in urban areas. Citizens living in rural areas and minorities living in

Effect: The rule has been estimated to have reduced population growth in the country of 1.3 billion by as much as 300 million people over its first twenty years.Chinas One Child PolicyChinas One Child Policy Reason: Chinas “baby boomer” generation during 1960s-1980s

Traditionally, the Chinese desired for several gen
8、erations to live under the same roof, with a large number of offspring in the household. However, modern life, particularly urban life, has made living under the same roof difficult (if not impossible), which makes it even harder for the young people to take care of their aging parents or grandparen
9、ts when thelatter are in need.Chinas One Child PolicyRecent Effects of the One Child LawNow that millions of sibling-less people in China are now young adults in or nearing their child-bearing years, a special provision allows millions of couples to have two children legally. If a couple is composed
10、 of two people without siblings, then they may have two children of their own, thus preventing too dramatic of a population decrease. Although sterilization and abortion (legal in China) are Chinas most popular forms of birth control, over the past few years, China has provided more education and su
11、pport for alternative birth control methods. The Future of Chinas One Child LawChinas eleventh Five-Year Plan Period is from 2006 to 2010. Minister of the State Commission of Population and Family Planning Zhang Weiqing confirmed in early 2006 that Chinas one child policy is consistent with the nati
12、ons plan for population growth and would continue indefinitely. He denied rumors that the policy become less stringent to permit a second child.Chinas One Child PolicyPopulation to peak at 1.5 billion in 2030sChina says its population - already the worlds largest - increased by 6.3 million last year
13、 to hit 1.341 billion by the end of 2010. The rise was roughly equal to the population of the city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.The 2010 figure was released by the national bureau of statistics, which called it a preliminary estimate.A final figure will be published in April 2011 when the government

Chinas aged population would increase by
16、8 million this year, up from a 3.11-million annual increase a decade ago which marked the beginning of an aging society, said Wu Yushao, deputy director of the office of the committee. The aged population is expected to grow from 160 million in 2008 to 200 million by 2014. With the rapid growth of t
17、he aging population, China faces challenges in the care of empty-nest parents, that is one or both parents living by themselves after the children have left the home. Nearly half, or 49.7 percent, of elderly persons in urban areas live in empty-nests. In rural areas, 48.9 percent of the elderly live

21、es continuing participation in (and contribution to) social, economic, cultural, spiritual and civic affairs.It is supposed to meet the special needs of developing countries while shifting strategic planning away from a “needs-based” approach (which tends to assume that older people are passive targ
22、ets) to a “rights-based” approach (which recognizes the rights of people in all aspects of life as they grow older, along with their responsibilities). Active aging There is a fear about Chinas aging tide that the country may soon be without a workforce. However, that will hardly come true as the Ch

China faces a chronic problem of unemployment with millions of youths entering the job market each year, which makes vacating positions for them

29、ected to witness a zero population growth rate by 2030, a population expert predicted Tuesday. In the first half of the 21st century, China will witness a peak in its total population, working-age population, and elderly population, according to the National Population and Family Planning Commission
30、. One third of Chinas total population, about 437 million people, will be citizens over 60 years old in 2050, while its population of 16 to 60-year-olds will hit the peak of 990 million in 2016, government figures showed. The work-age population will then drop to 870 million in 2050, according to go

32、We know that China, being the most populous country in the world, is especially important in the area of population, said Hania Zlotnik, director of the Population Division of the U.N. Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA). China has 37 million more males than femalesSituations:China has
33、become the most imbalanced country in gender ratio of newborn babies in the world. This period of imbalance is also the longest time in the world. Since the 1980s, Chinas birth ratio between newborn girls and boys has been increasing:1982: 100 to 108.51987: 100 to 110.91990: 100 to 111.31995: 100 to

36、 the population of many of Chinas provinces and compares them to nations elsewhere in the world.Chinas least populous town: Yumai Town in TibetWith 32 people of eight families, Yumai (玉麦) town in southwest Chinas Tibet Autonomous Region, covering an area of 2,040 square kilometers (the gross area of
37、 Mauritius), is believed to be Chinas least populous township. Before 1995, only one family of three resided in the township on the China-India border. Over the last decade, a road and a small hydropower station were built thanks to the local governments continuing investment, and now the residents are living in their own new houses.Chinas least populous town: Yumai Town in Tibet
