Effects of the Chinese One-Child PolicyIn the 21st century, the majority of problems that scourged humanity for centuries have been pacified by science and medicine. Diseases are being successfully cured; famine does not occur in the majority of developed countries; wars are no longer global. These, as well as other reasons, caused the extensive growth of population all over the world. One of the most overpopulated regions in the world is China, where the amount of people is close to 1.4 billion. In an attempt to avoid problems connected with overpopulation, the Chinese government in 1978 adopted the so-called one-child policy, which restricted each family to have more than one child (nowadays, exceptions are allowed due to reforms). However, although it helped to some extent, this policy also had a number of unforeseen consequences.It is not clear which of the positive effects of the one-child policy had been planned in advance, but one of them is the dramatic improvement of the financial status of many Chinese families. “Every family suddenly had a huge amount of discretionary income to invest in education and also in consumption,” says sociologist Vanessa Fong of Amherst College in Massachusetts. In past generations, resources were spread between many children; nowadays, families’ resources are concentrated on one child. As a result, Chinese parents can afford sending children to foreign colleges for studying, buy and consume more goods (thus moving the economy forward), and so on. As a result, China’s singletons, as they are called, are much more educated than generations before them (BBC).At the same time, the implementation of the one-child policy before reforms lead to a number of horrifying violations of human rights all across China, and especially in rural regions. There were numerous stories about coercive practices of forced late-term abortions, when the community insisted on a woman being pregnant with a second child to get rid of it. There were reports about involuntary sterilizations; this was combined with the practice of whistleblowing, when people reported about their neighbors who dared to conceive a second child (Newsweek). Nowadays, the situation has improved due to a number of amendments made in this policy; but just a couple of decades ago, the situation was much worse.Yet another negative effect is the 4-2-1 problem. In China, a child takes care of his or her old parents (and grandparents, if they are still alive) when they become an adult. In the times when there were many children in a family, this was not an issue; however, nowadays a grown-up singleton must take care of two older parents, and four grandparents – including financial support, health care, and so on. Considering that by 2050, the amount of old people (65 years old or more) is expected to be more than a quarter of the whole population of China, it is not hard to imagine the excessive burden of family responsibilities that each singleton will have to face (IO9).The notorious Chinese one-child policy has lead to a number of controversial effects. On one side, modern Chinese young men and women (born after 1978) are more educated than previous generations, as families can focus all their incomes on one ch…………………
