Question

Answer 1

False, The One-Child Policy in China was instilled to decrease the population or at least to keep it to a minimum considering the population was rising like crazy.

Answer 2

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The one-child policy was instituted by the Chinese government in 1979 after the death of Mao Tse-Tung as a family planning measure that sought to overcome extreme poverty. According to the authorities, if the measure had not been applied, China today would have more than 1.8 billion inhabitants and not the current 1.4 billion. The restriction allowed to improve many social indicators such as income per capita, life expectancy (currently in 75 years), access to education or poverty reduction, which went from 600 million people in the 80s to 70s million today.
