=Summary Of China's One Child Policy: = The one child policy is very explanatory from its name. This policy only allows couples in china to have one child.There are several exceptions however.

· This policy first came out in 1979

· This issue is very controversial in China as well as other places around the world. This policy has forced couples to have abortions, which means to kill their babies before they are born.

· This policy can be looked at in both a positive and negative manner. It is somewhat positive because it is keeping the population of China from being extremely over populated. The negative however, is that they are losing knowledge and money. All those children that could have been born could have provided knowledge and skills and money for the future of China.

· There is a punishment for not abiding by this policy. The couple who broke the policy are to pay fines. These fines depend on the family’s income and their economic positions.

· Even though this is a law in China and comes along with a punishment if you break it, couples continue to have more than one child!

· Family planning Centers in China ,have said that this law will be enforced still for the next ten years to come.

· Chinese children not born in China do not count. They are not illegal and are not counted as part of the policy.

· Chinese citizens who are coming from abroad are allowed to have a second child.

· The T.F.R of China has decreased from about 2 to 1.7.
