What policy did China create to manage the country’s overpopulation

Sagot :

Answer:

The one-child per family policy

Explanation:

To contain its surging population which rose to over a billion, the Chinese government issued the one-child per family policy in 1979. This policy required that every Chinese family would apply for a family planning certificate once the wife became pregnant for the first child.

This policy was effective in curbing the overgrowing population, however, this resulted in a labor force that lacked youths and a population that had more of aged people. In 2016, the Chinese government revoked this policy, thus allowing families to have up to two children.
