Description
In 1980, the People's Republic of China announced the One-Child Policy. This decision has reshaped Chinese society in numerous ways. This talk will first explain the motivations behind the creation of the One-Child Policy and discuss its effects. Next, even though the One-Child Policy ended in 2016, not many couples are choosing to have a second child. We will explore economic, cultural, and political factors behind this trend. The talk will conclude by discussing how an aging and shrinking population might impact China's domestic society as well as its role in the world.
