They claim that the one-child program had little effect on birth rates or the size of the total population when one considers the large drop in fertility during the two-child decade preceding it and that other countries – such as Thailand and the Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu – experienced notable fertility declines without official birth quotas. Some scholars have disputed the official estimates. That statistic originally referred to all births averted since 1970, although later it referred to just the one-child era beginning around 1980. According to its government, 400 million births were prevented.
The impact of China's birth restrictions has been hotly debated. Parents who had only one child would also get a "one-child glory certificate". Issued by the Communist Party Central Committee and the State Council in that year, regulations awarded 5 yuan per month for families with one child.
China also provided a nominal reward to families with one child, in accordance with the instructions on further family planning.
Local and national governments created commissions to promote the program and monitor compliance. To enforce existing birth limits (of one or two children), provincial governments could, and did, require the use of contraception, abortion, and sterilization to ensure compliance, and imposed enormous fines for violations. Thus, the term "one-child policy" has been called a " misnomer", because, for nearly 30 of the 36 years that it existed (1979–2015), about half of all parents in China faced instead a two-child limit. The policy also allowed exceptions for some other groups, including ethnic minorities. The policy was modified beginning in the mid-1980s to allow rural parents a second child if the first was a daughter and then lasted three more decades before the government announced in late 2015 a reversion to a two-child limit. After a decade-long program in the 1970s which raised the age of marriage and called for broader spacing of fewer births, with exhortations to have no more than two, in 1979 one-child limits were supported by a group of Chinese leaders including Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yun, and Li Xiannian. Distinct from the family planning policies of most other countries, which usually focus on providing contraceptive options to help women have the number of children they want, it set a limit on the number of births parents could have, making it the world's most extreme example of population planning. Birth rate in China, 1950–2020(the drop between 19 corresponds to the years of the Great Chinese Famine)Ĭhina's one-child policy ( Chinese: 一孩政策), lasting from 1980 to 2015, was part of a broad program of birth quotas, regulations, and enforcements designed to control the size of its rapidly growing population.
