China's One Child Policy Overview

The video discusses China's one child policy, introduced in 1979 to control population growth. Initially, the policy offered benefits like free education and healthcare for families with one child, but imposed sanctions on those with more. Rural areas faced significant challenges due to their reliance on children for farming. The policy led to a gender imbalance and an aging population. Recent relaxations allow for a second child under certain conditions. The video encourages further research on the topic.
