One child policy 👶

  Have you every wondered how China's one child policy affects the chinese society? The one child policy was introduced in 1979 so as to ease social, economic and environmental problems in china. After the policy was introduced, the fertility rate in China sharply decreased from 2.63 births per woman in 1980 to 1.61.
  The extra 9.5 million people born each year will need food, water, and housing. As per capita arable land in China is half of the global average and 40 percent of that  is considered less economical or uneconomical to farm, there might not be enough water for everyone, causing a strain on natural resources.
