Question

How China has dealt with the problem of population growth? Do you think that these programs violate human rights? Use examples to defend your answer.

Answer 1

China has dealt with the problem of population growth by encouraging people to move to the cities and installing a one-child policy. They encourage people to move to the cities because of the increased number of industrial and business opportunities. People who work are less likely to have children. The cost of living in the cities is also higher, so there is incentive to keep families small by having to provide for fewer children. The one-child policy is a program that does not allow families to have more than one child. The program does not apply to people living in extreme rural areas or to some ethnic groups. This is a very controversial program, and many consider it to be in violation of human rights.

Answer 2

In 1979, the one-child policy was instituted. It gave Provincial government the mandate to impose penalty fees on families that had more than one child. It also imposed very intrusive contraceptive measures that included forced sterilization and abortion. According to the 1966 Declaration on Population it is a human right to be able to determine freely the size of one’s family. In the West, population control has been more successful and less coercive and abusive than in China since in the West there are no legal interdictions for the size of a family other than economic constraints. In China on the other hand, population control methods have been quite brutal. In 2001, 20,000 abortions and sterilizations were inflicted upon pregnant women of a remote, rural and poor area in the region of Huaiji. Government officials forcibly subjected women in this region to ultrasounds that would determine if they were pregnant and if the results were affirmative they conducted abortions on the spot, regardless of the age of the fetus. Many of them were also subjected to forced sterilization in order to avoid future pregnancies.
