How does Chinas one child policy work?
To curb the population problem, there is a policy that many families can have only one child. However this does not apply to everyone. If a child is an only child and has a college education (shows an ability to provide for the child), it can have more than one. There are other conditions and exceptions as well. If a family does have a second child the only real penalty is a fine. No one is forced to have an abortion or there are no murdered children. And there is no prison time. .
