China Population 2

In Alexa Olesen’s article, “China Sticking to One –Child Policy,” it is important to have a strategy with population. The population in China is very big; even the government cannot handle it, especially after the last number was 1.3 billion people and it was 20 percent of the global total (Olesen, 2007). The Chinese family likes to have a boy instead of girl, and the government gives them another chance if they have a girl the first time. The government has a strong policy in which every family should have only one child, to stop the increase of the population. The government wants the population fewer than 1.36 billion by 2010 and under 1.45 billion by 2020, Zhang said in Olesen (2007). We have to control the population before it makes a problem, the government should solve the problem supporting families for example, pensions, and they should help females in payment and education.

First, the population is encrusting without controll. The government should do something to stop it, like give a better salary, have an only one child policy, and give high education. If the population could control the income well, it would be better for the family and it would help them in a lot of things like health care, education and housing care. Also, families have to know that they should stop having more children, because it affects the government system like pensions system, health care, education system, and housing. If the population gets less than that number, they will have more chance to find jobs. For example, jobs will be available in government, a lot of companies, and factories. So people should stop having more then one child as a best solution. I hope families can see that point and stop having more children.

Second, the government should solve the problem of the pension system by investing more money and giving good pensions to the families. When the families see that is going to happen they are not going to depend on their children, and they will stop having more than one child. Families who live in poverty want to have more boys to support them. It is a good solution if the pension is too low for them. So, government should tell the families that having only one child they will increase the pension salary, and they will give them health care if they needed, just do not follow the idea of having more than one to help you. If people continue having more than one child the government will have lot of problems with the pension system, health care and good education. They cannot give lot of people money when they have less income and too much many expenses. The government can also find other ways to tell people to stop with advertisements, in public places, and in universities.

Third, the problem of the high education should be solved by the government by helping the families with payments and decreasing the amount of money that they have to pay for schools and universities. When you have more educated people, you have a good economy. If the government still asks for fees and payment for education, families living in poverty are not going to have a chance to find a better life, and they will stay in poverty forever. Education is very important for heath, work, and having better life than before. In China, government should give the education free and have to know that not every family can take care of this cost.

In conclusion, the government should improve the life system of people in different ways, like the policy to have one child, improve the pensions system, and the education system. If they can have more one way to decrease the population they should do it, like they should educate the people and give them the responsibility. Also, they need to improve high education in universities. China can lower their population if they follow the government.
