3 Things i found out
1. Both Singapore and China implemented these population regulation policies due to an increasing population that would've spiraled out of control if the government didn't step in.
2. One reason for China implementing the One Child Policy was to have lower unemployment rate and a need for a strong working background, so that the people would be occupied with work and (hopefully) not rebel against the Communist Party.
3. More often than not, the impact of these policies are hard to reverse-- the lower birth rates in Singapore and China still proves that even with policies implemented to encourage more children, people are still unwilling to raise more children.
2 New perceptions I have gained
1. A too large population impacts not only the quality of basic needs, but also a country's infrastructure, education and economy as well.
2. Child regulation policies also have impacts on the perception of family and society --- in the case of the marrying age adults in China finding it hard to find love and those who have married finding it even harder to start a family.
1 Question I have
1. Will the Chinese government ever give incentives to parents who are willing to give birth to more than one child? (I'm assuming that they will have to, at some point in the future, even while their current population is already massive, their younger generation are still having problems to even marry.)
