It caused harn because it was stupidly implemented not because it's generally bad.
But btw. many western countries have a shrinking population since years to a degree where that's an problem.
But this also means that the countries which have to take (reasonable) actions include many contribute which often can't afford more reasonable actions :/
- f00zz 6y agoThere's no population bomb. Let's please lay Malthus to rest already. According to some projections, world population will peak sometime in the 2040s and then start to decline.
- dathinab 6y agoBut one reasons why the projection is that way is because countries do nudge people to not having explosive growth by all kind of measures. Some as simple as reducing poverty. Some by making it most viable to have one or two children. Some (China) by limiting the number of children to roughly two. ... Not all of this policies are good, not all are intentionally made to have that effect. Still if you want to shrink a countries populations there are much more ways then a hard limit to the number of children (Which I think will hardly ever play out well.).

- BurningFrog 6y agoWhat is a non stupid child ban policy you support that doesn't cause harm?
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoGlobal sterilization of all people by molecular-genetic means. Then temporarily unsterilizing by winning the lottery, points, ability score, merit, money, whatever... Simple, innit?

- dathinab 6y agoNo, you must consider regional differences. Any law which is not doing so and just enact it the same for any larger region (the world, or just whole of china) is bound to fail big time.

- dathinab 6y agoSuper hard to say. But there are a fiew things you should definitely do: - Make sure not gender is valued above the other gender. - No 1 child limit (instead of 2), with a 1 child limit we would have two people having one child, i.e. halving. Which is probably faster shrinking then any country can properly handle (i.e. after a while a horrible ratio of young to old people etc.). A two child limit still will cause shrinkage. - Don't fixate the law on women, it's unreasonable and put's a further burden on them. - Make sure your social system isn't incompatible with such a law before enacting it. - Make sure society is compatible with such a law before enacting it. - Make sure it's not turned into a money making machine. - Consider regional differences. Which would be a view points you should keep to which china didn't bother with at all. Most problems of the past one child policy in china come from: - Man being valued much more then woman now leading to there being much more of them then woman. - To fast shrinkage puts the social system in danger as to view young people have to care for to many old people. - The laws being abusive to woman. - The laws unreasonable handling of children which under the law should not have been born but have been born anyway. EDIT: Just to be clear, there are many more ways to (slowly) shrink a countries population which are based on subtle nudging society in the intended direction instead of enforcing any hard limit on the number of children. Which is probably what China should have done, tbh.
