China ends it's one child policy.
In what ways is China's newest population reform an example of another attempt at controlling the demographic make-up of the country ?
China introduced it's one child policy in the 1970's to deviate from rapid population growth. However, China has now relaxed its one child policy, allowing couples to have at least two children. The reason behind this is because political leaders fear that the country's ageing population will affect the working force, therefore reducing income. Political leaders also fear that by sticking to the one child policy, it will greatly affect taking care of the elderly.
