Comparative Development Experiences of India And Its Neighbours

Question

What is the important implication of the 'one child norm' in China?

Answer

One child norm introduced in China in the late 1970s as the major reason for low population growth. This measure led to decline in the sex ratio i.e. the proportion of females per 1000 males. For instance, after a few decades, in China, there will be more elderly people in proportion to young people. This will force China to take steps to provide social security measures with fewer workers.
