# Growing population is considered as a major menace triggering all problems in the world.
# The strain of an estimated 9 billion people by 2050 is going to push the earth close to its breaking point no matter how simple a life those 9 billion people lead.
# Population is the single most important factor in climate change, urban pollution, water crisis, agricultural collapse and ecological
destruction.

One child policy is must to bring down population. India will beat China in 25 years. South Asian countries cannot afford to have huge populations like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Over population makes full of poor people also. In Bangladesh over population is causing high unemployment and poverty and becoming a big problem for its social economic growth. Bengalis would have been much prosperous if not because of this problem.
Hey Jonty..stop thinking in this way "one child policy is against the nature. There should be two for two people, whether it is a boy and girl, boy and boy or girl and girl. One child policy may reduce the population" 9 billion people til 2050, can u imagine the condition of natural resources till that time. This is the time for new couple to contribute in 'Save the Earth' process. One child good for everyone.
@Jess:
Coming from Canada, you must know better how an aging nation is such a problem to the Canadian population. With families having fewer and fewer babies in Canada, there is a sharp decrease in the youth population. This might have brought down Canada’s crime rates, but does Canada need a situation that is increasingly becoming in Canada now? I know Canadians are having lesser babies not because of population control (as there is no population control policy in Canada), but due to economic considerations in Canadian families. Nonetheless, the result is for all to see.

one of my relatives work in the population welfare ministry of pakistan. we discussed this issue something back. she had been to china on a trip and chinese officials have conceded that there are probs with their urban one child policy and rural two children if the first child is a girl. it is creating sex ratio imbalance and other illegal activities like sex determination, female feticide, not declaring second child causing more probs afterwards. there must be population control because life expectancy has gone higher because of medical science, but no draconian policies. educating societies about ill-effects of over population will bring a change from within families.
I first heard this question 30+ years ago...along with "Why is the sky blue?" and "How hot is the Sun?" The point being, not every answer can be definitive.
Okay, so...
We can't find a cure on AIDS, Cancer, Diabetes, HIV, etc...and ppl are using their time to figure out what would happen if we reduce our population by following the insane Chinese one Couple one Child Policy...I am not American, so can anyone please educate me?

1 child policy's bad becoz it may have problems. If the child die or meet with accident after growing old and when parents cant bear child there would be probs in family. Control of population is needed esp in asia. Birth control tools like condoms and pills should be encouraged, not forcd abortions like china. Limit to 2 children.
Bearing of children is a couple’s prerogative. The factors influencing it is not a measly government policy but the wherewithals of a family. If they can afford to then why not ten children and if they can’t then why even one? Human resource is the most productive resource, countries with huge populations should try to prevent loafing, unemployment and brain-drain rather than being a contraceptive! Even if such a policy has to be imposed then the number of children must be two to facilitate normal psychological health of a child as it is a proven fact that single children are often lonely. The problem is viewpoint, you look at masses and call them crowd, look at them and call them a mind-pool, it might just help.
Poverty anywhere is a threat to prosperity everywhere. The root cause of poverty is undeniably population explosion. The socio-economic problem that we face on account of growing population is easily calculable, which I don’t need to explain. Hence, it is high time to give legal thumb to one child norm.
@ bhagaban
Your argument sounds good. Is it possible in a country like India where born of a child is still considered bless of God?

One child policy is practically impossible. Instead of arguing for one child norm, we should find an alternate way to develop human resources. I mean a new policy, which will make population growth as asset, not liability.
Dear Ms. Sammie,
Thanks for countering me. I don’t dispute you when you say, ‘A country like India where …..God’. Yes, it is possible. Don’t forget the fact the literacy rate is improving over the years. Time is not so far when world will see cent percent literacy in India. The outlook of the people is changing significantly. And it has its direct implication in population control.

dire situations need dire measures.... we are already suffering from the excess population from poor countries who can produce nothing but babies..... till recently India and Chinas main production was humans from humans............ lazy nations can only screw and make merry......... if they have come round and adopted strict control on screwing without protection, what's wrong????? this world doesnt belong to only chinese and indians....... it belongs to me and it belongs to everyobne else........... u, u and u there right at the corner reading this....... and u too..... slowly but surely they r overpopulating the west. have u noticed how many asians r there in Australia and Britain????????????? and US too..... mr and missus nos here..... u r in the wrong channel mates.
it sux to see asians in towns like broome and freo robbing everyone of jobs and space..... this is a serious problem, do u understand?

one child policy is good for females. at least it will save us from multiple torturous process of bearing children. forget other arguments, as a single mom of two kids i know how hard it is.
The cartoon is cool - "it all started with the big bang & it will end with the population explosion"
Good wit. lol
Good wit. lol
100% correct policy. Stop the idiots from fucking without birth control so that their unwanted children do not eat our share of food or grab our jobs. We have to travel to different countries to get a decent employment. Our country is predominantly Catholic that says no to abortions and birth control. That is not practical. The Vatican must change its stand.
@ jonty
No, one child policy is against the nature. There should be two for two people, whether it is a boy and girl, boy and boy or girl and girl. One child policy may reduce the population, but it will start making a nation age fast with the population of the elderly going higher than the population of young people rapidly. There would be severe repercussions then on many things like economy, scientific and other development etc.
this can not have serious repercussions on any thing...i am not sure why do u think there should be more young ppl around then the elderly but i am sure it won’t be having any affect on the development of science and economy. Even today we look for more experienced folks to take care of all the well paid profiles in business and every other field. and this proves that elderly in society is noway harmful.
If one child one couple policy is against nature so i think we are already against nature by adding more pressure on the ever squeezing resources but for us we have an explanation - WE ARE SOCIAL ANIMALS AND WE NEED TO THINK WHAT IS IN OUR GOOD INTEREST. i think you are noway advocating the well being of human existence with ur ’serious repercussions argument’

Human overpopulation is one of the chief causes of global warming - fix that and the problem will be solved. China's 1 child policy has in one way saved our world from climate changes brought about by global warming by reducing CO2 emissions. By adopting one-child policy China has helped the fight against global warming by avoiding 300 million births that is equivalent to the population of the United States. Now imagine if wen reduce one America (i.e. biggest polluter in the world) from being born in a decade, we are going to save this world not only from Global warming but also wars and conflicts will be reduced significantly. All in all a win win situation.
And also as Jonty says more elderly will be the problem but i think we are going to make this world a safe place with less young.

Why are you people fighting over the number of children. Children are god's gift and don't forget everyone wants one child means male child. the policy of one child will disturb the gender balance on the earth.
Everyone should willingly adopt the policy of one child to save the earth. But, the governments should not force anyone to adopt such policy.
I think we should go ahead with it but very intelligently. States should declare it a top priority; however, without making it compulsory – that would be a pretty bad idea – you can’t put a muscle on anyone and make him do this. As far as sex ratio distortion or drastic decline in population and other such issues are concerned, don’t worry, we won’t be facing these as the percentage of people following it will always be less, but will be enough to make an overall positive impact.
Some of my friends here are saying that they’re bored of the issue…Wow! But, this boredom, which no doubt is because of the undue strain their faulting brains - jammed due to the population pressure – are not able to take. The fact that we’re not able to understand the gravity of the problem has escalated it to somewhere where it’s almost impossible to look back with some pride. Pls tax your brains with the toon above too, if you’re not busy increasing the numbers!
But who’ll will implement it and how. Taming reproductive is horrendous. The plight of Chinese pregnant women who’re literally forced to abort is in front of us. Moreover, girl child is despised in most of the countries and it gives and easy option to go for legal abortion, consequently skewing the sex ratio. Recently, the Communist Party expelled 500 members in Hubei for defying the one-child policy. So, the crux is, it’ll lead to more brutality. The point is - why we need such a policy at this moment? I don’t think there is any need to do so, especially, with live-in relationships and no child couples are increasing at an unimaginable rate. Hopefully, things gonna be on track soon…
Over population is a Third World Asian country's problem like China, India etc. Too many people bearing much too many enfants that is creating too many problems for progression. So policy like one child policy for a particular time can be good. It is good for mothers too have lesser enfants.
@ Somya
It’s not abt affording ten, five or three children...we are thinking abt possibilities in away that can help humanity. This isn’t abt crowd n neither abt being lonely…this is abt that crowd’s intentions that is stuck at a phase where we can either help or let this happen for masses are mind-pool, that might “just” help. The choice is yours.

Over population had never been a problem in Japan. All boils down to how you use your brains. Some has it in them and some don't. PLAIN AND SIMPLE
WHat is this crazy --- goverment will tell how many kids we born? How is thid possible>? goverment make policies people make baby & ALLAH look after all.
Every such decision is anti-female. What about our rights for abortion, bearing children and plan our pregnancies? If over population is problem of nations, why are the child-bearing women not asked whether she wants to have babies or not? These suggests to sinister male conspiracy against women. Are they ever asked how a family is managed especially in poor countries? Countries are run by males. Males would say one thing in bed - "Darling I love you so much that I hate condoms, let's do with out the sheath". Next day will go to office and come up with eccentric policies.
The world will ultimately have Chinese and Indians with pure whites, blacks, Egyptians and other races in zoos abnd protected areas. High time we stopped them. 900 billion people with 90 pcent of chinese and Indians. Scary senario for our next generation. It's a theart to our world.
Producing babies without pause hoping that they would support your country's economy or earn more for your family is like spamming. You hit some but miss many. More babies means biological spamming. Worst bio-spammers are Indians and Chinese. Think carefully. We must fight spam. Gmail only allows 500 mails a day. It has 500 mail a daty policy. So nothing wrong with baby spam control policy. Delete or ban user violating the terms of agreement. It is same if you think carefully.
we must consider in giving away unwanted babies to childless couples. this may solve the problem to some extent. my cousin is not my real cousin. he was adopted.
Sounds harsh but makes sence....... maybe correct way to stop a chinesde invasion.
Is there any doubt that if you do not have a strict policy in place the rabbits wont stop from making more men? Asians descended from rabbits. No one will ever admit that but it is true.
Population alone is not the major problem. A one-child policy will just be a superficial solution to the ongoing global issues that we face.
Governments need to adopt measures that will teach the citizens of every nation to take their little steps in solving the problems of environmental degradation and scarcity of resources.
No matter how much we reduce the number of people, if the remaining individuals will still continue doing wastage and abuse of the environment as well as contributing to various crisis as time goes by, the problems remain.
The reality is laid back to the willingness of the people to follow laws and take an active stance of preserving what can be saved. Discipline nowadays has been an obsolete word. No one knows its true essence.
This is also an issue between environmental protection and technology. Don’t blame big families alone, look into every source that contributes to the ecological damage. This may pertain to policies, practices and the overall perspective of how we do things.
Who knows some of the babies that will be born in the future have the solutions to the existing problems that we encounter. After all, they will inherit the problems that we have now.

yes china india must control population with 1 child policy to bring down pressure on them.
One child policy in China is proving that the city kids are spoilt rotten. It is affecting their behaviour badly because rapidly prospering parents always give in to the demands of their only kids. I never support that because it will damage the country in next generation.
BABIES ARE CUTE. DONT STOP THEM FROM COMING TO EARTH. THEY MAKE IT SO BEUTIFUL. WHY MAKE EARTH LESS CUTE?

We must however have a strict no-over-two children policy keeping in mind the uncontrolled population explosion. The human population has stretched the planet to its limits in terms of resource usage that is now having a telling effect on the environment and other things.
We can manage it if we act now and impose a strict two-children policy. That way, the population will also dip keeping in mind that there would be many childless couples and couples with only one child without making the country to the aging population problem.
