China's one-child policy, population aging

[Aepsilons]

The West's pro-contraceptive use , in my opinion, will lead to the demise of nations. Japan once abhorred abortions because each single life is precious life. Even the Shinto , Zen-Buddhist practitioners in Japan believe this. Christians , of course, do so as well. The problem is that the culture of Death is so ingrained in this world that it ebbs away the culture of Life.

Each life is precious life. By campaigning and championing birth control, contreceptives, we are , electively murdering our own future generations. Millions upon Millions of Japanese are murdered every year through abortion and birth control. We should change the culture in how we perceive pregnancy.

I believe this should be applied not only for Japan, but other nations that have propagated this culture of Death.

I think another issue with one-child policy is gender imbalance. Because abortion in China is still legal (sorry if I am wrong), or can be easily performed by whacky doctors and everyone want to have a son, China is having serious problem about gender imbalance. In some areas, the ratio between male:female can come to 120:100. Everyone makes jokes about how Chinese men go around and buy wives from neighbouring countries, but it's a fact that there are more Chinese men than Chinese women. Hopefully China can figure out an effective birth control policy.

This is gender discrimination, I prefer a baby girl, unlike those people.

Better to have a boy and a girl. It's good luck.

I need probability. But I think it's all wishful thinking, raising child is quite time-consuming, especially for a girl.

I am in the position that regards a large population with strength. What I and other Japanese admire about Zhongguo is the shear size of Zhongguo. She has the land mass, the natural resources to support such a large population, and the basis for a large work force, that will propel the nation to new heights.

A large and healthy young population is , in its own right, a nation's greatest asset. It is the pool from which creativity will be drawn from to fuel the industry. These are the future politicians, military personnel, business entrepreneurs, policy makers, medical specialists, etc.

By severely reducing and limiting child rates, China reduces its greatest asset: man power. I think it would be to Zhongguo's asset and leverage to maintain a population well beyond the 1 billion mark. Its current growth trends, coupled with improvement in educational , health - medical resources, the quality of life for its people should increase as planned. While at the same time, pacing itself.

Totally agree.

I think China's population situation is the reverse of Japan's.
Do you know what happens when the standard of living in a country takes a big leap (and in the past they could only have one child)? A huge baby boom occurs. Like the US in the 1950's.

Right now the Chinese government is trying to figure out how NOT to have a huge baby boom.

Nice hypothesis. Can you give some support evidence? I guess Right now, means these 2 yrs.

Well just look up "baby boom" and you can read what happens when the standard of living suddenly goes up.

An example is what happened in the USA after WW2. In the era preceding the war (1930's) the US was in a depression and having more than one child was very stressful economically. After the war the economy did a 180 degree turn and the US prospered and suddenly having more than 1 child was economically feasible. And so families started having 3+.

This goes back to what I posted about Japan's issue Japan's Initiative for Population Growth: Plan for local populations due in January | Page 2

You can see parallels with what happened in the US after the war with the situation in China right now.

asians and europeans need to have more children

So is China's. In fact, statistically speaking, the same phenomena that is affecting Japan, South Korea is also affecting China:

A very healthy birth rate. Its estimated that by 2050, India's population will be at 1.6 Billion.
