List of Advantages of One Child Policy
1. Population Control.
China is one of the most populous countries in the world, with its population over 1 billion. With making the One Child Policy a law that every Chinese family has to abide by and around 400 million births were prevented. Without the policy, this number will continue to add up and this can aggravate the problem of over population.
2. Job Opportunities.
With the strict rule of One Child Policy, children who grew up during this period were able to find jobs easily since there will be positions available. With the number of retirees rising, jobs will need to be filled in and the younger generation will be the ones to take the place of the available jobs.
3. Better Life.
One of the advantages of having only a child in the family is the opportunity given to the newborn of having a comfortable life. This is because all the attention, love and financial resources of the parents will be enjoyed by the child. He or she will have the chance to get the best education, better health care and job opportunities. For advocates for the One Child Policy, this social experiment promises a better future for the children. Parents will be able to save up for education and send their kids to the best schools.
4. Incentives.
As a reward for complying with the policy, Chinese parents who followed the rule were given certificates which they used to enjoy some perks such as getting discounts, applying for education loans for their children, longer days of maternity leave and housing loans. Without the policy, parents will not be able to take advantage of these privileges.
