Should the one-child policy be abolished?
From 1980, one-child policy has been a momentous part of the family planning policy and played a certain role in controlling the rapid growth of population. But this policy is obviously of great disadvantages.
First of all, China is entering the aging society and couples, both of whom are the only child, have to support four old. Supporting the old has become a prominent problem of family and society. One couple, both of whom are PhD, wants to make some achievements in their jobs after graduation. However, they have to support three aged parents, two of whom are in hospital. They even have no time and energy to bring up their own children. They are eager to have brothers and sisters, with whom they will be able to share these responsibilities.
Secondly, gender imbalance is serious. Men, five or six in ten, cannot find wives. Because of one-child policy, some couples go to the hospital to check the fetus’s gender and will have an abortion if it is a female fetus.
Thirdly, the only child is prone to having a lot of problems. Since they are born, many only children have been doted on by numerous people, ending up with having some bad habits, such as being afraid of hardships and coveting enjoyment. Furthermore, quite a few only children are eccentric and arrogant, which is not conducive to the development of interpersonal skills.
In addition, if the only child is ill or injured, his parents will be enormously
worried. Even worse, if the only children died and his parents have passed childbearing age, the parents will spend the rest of their lives in suffering and solitude.
Given China’s current status of economy and society, if the one-child policy were kept on, the stability of family would be badly shaken and the development of economy and society would be greatly impeded. Therefore, the nation should not continue to adhere to the one-child policy.
