Hi Diness According to Wikipedia The one-child policy is the population control policy (or planned birth policy) of the Pople'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; because of the manner in which the policy has been implemented; and because of concerns about negative economic and social consequences. Nonetheless, a recent (2008) survey undertaken by the Pew Research Center showed that over 75% of the Chinese population supports the policy. With just over 1.3 billion people (1,330,044,605 as of mid-2008), China is the world's largest and most populous country.
