=﻿China's Population Polices= China has the largest population in all of the world and China is trying to control it by producing a 1 child law but he child law is also creating another problem in China reffering to female infants.

China's Population Facts
The total population of China is 1.5 billion people, but it is decreasing. In the largest city(Shanghai) there is 18,000,000 people. 600 million people are living below poverty. In 2040 India (the second most populated country in the world) is supposed to pass China in population. China's fertility rate is 1.2

Child Law
China has produced a one child law to promote population loss. This plan will take five years, this is their 11th 5 year plan. This rule has caused a want for female infants abortion, neglect, abandonment, and even infanticide have been known to occur to female infants. The plan has brought down population but has yet to meet Chinas goal.

Babies born per month from 1970-2009

Female Infantcide
The phenomenon of female infanticide is as old as many cultures, and has likely accounted for millions of gender-selective deaths throughout history. It remains a critical concern in a number of "Third World" countries today, notably the two most populous countries on earth, China and India. In all cases, specifically female infanticide reflects the low status accorded to women in most parts of the world; it is arguably the most brutal and destructive manifestation of the anti-female bia It is closely linked to the phenomena of sex-selective abortion, which targets female fetuses almost exclusively, and neglect of girl children.

China’s Population Policies China is the most populated country in the world; the total population is 1.5 billion. The fertility rate is 1.2 which is an all-time low for the past 15 years. The 1 child law is lowering the population but yet has to succeed China’s needs. But India is going to surpass China by 2040 in population.

But China still has a very large problem with female infanticide. Since the Chinese government produced the 1 child law the want for boys has increased dramatically for care when the parents are elderly. Female infanticide remains a problem in a number of populated countries today, mostly the two most populated countries in the world, China and India. In all cases, specifically female infanticide reflects the low status women in most parts of the world; it is the most brutal of the anti-female killings. It is closely linked to the problem of sex-selective abortion, and neglect of girl children.

China’s 11th 5 year plan for having a 1 child law is the most successful of the plans. The 10 plans before were closely linked to only having 1 child but not exactly the same. For every 105 boys born 98 girls are born but 19 of those girls are going to be aborted, neglected, or killed.

China’s government is struggling to bring down population. But the future for China isn’t so great from over population. China is expected to produce another population policy to keep population low.
