From the Paper:
"The policy has had several effects both short term and long term on the general population. One major effect that was immediate was the drop in the country's fertility rate where initially every woman was capable of giving birth to more than three children but the situation changed to less than two as per the policy (Zhu, 2003). This policy enabled the Chinese government to prevent the birth of over four hundred million people who could be competing for the same resources available today. The policy has been instrumental in helping to spur china's recent economic growth into a world powerhouse because it has helped to solve some of the issues connected to overpopulation."Sample of Sources Used:
