(American Journal of Public Health,
October, 2012) PhD. Liping Bu and
Elizabeth
Fee
point
out
that
the
mutual
action
between
economy
and
population influences
both of them. Begin with a attractive poster. The
authors
describe the new
situation
of Chinese
mother
and child as a pair
of free birds.
Under the family planning policy, the general
fertility
rate declined. The less
population brings lots of advantages, such as
health,
prosperity,
more
welfare
and
socioeconomic
development.
The
population
influences
the
economy
and
also
be
affected
by
it.
In
the
words
of
Bu
and
Fee
(2012),
because
of
market
economy,
many
young
famers
migrate
to
cities
to
work.
It
is
hard
to
have
more
children
in
such
a
competitive
environment, so that rural couples
voluntarily choose to
have fewer
children.
In
conclusion,
the
authors
agree
deeply
that
China
should
insist
on
implementing family planning policy and market
economy.

(WCPRR,
October, 2007) Yixin Chen argues that as the
Family Planning
Policy has been carried
out in China, there are some problems emerging
and
we
need
to
pay
much
attention
to
these.
Just
like
Chen
(2007)
writes,
for
four
reasons
causing
child
spoiled,
treasuring,
paying
high
expectations,
excessive
concerns
and
the emotional
needs. the
children
who come from one-child families would
get more attached and dependent
than
the
children
who
have
siblings.
Moreover,
in
some
serious
situations,
less of them can be violent or immature
even getting a hypochondriac
condition.
By investigating the parent-child relationships,
the author
strongly
states
his
point
of
view
that
we
should
attach
importance
to
the
mental
health
of
parents
and
children
in
the
process
of
child
development.

In
“
Illegal children will be
confiscated,
”
the author
criticizes
that the one-child policy is
going against human-right and caused a
demographic problem. There is a fact
that those children who are called
illegal
will
be
packed
off
to
orphanages.
Although
Chinese
fertility
was
down, it also leads
some problems.
Now
China becomes one

young people cause aging
society. It is
disturbing to think facing too many elders and too

can
the
young

do under this generation
of one-child policy.

the
author
writes
that
China
’
s
one-child
policy
is
helpful
for
China
’
s
education,
because
the
number
of
school-age
children
becomes
lesser
and
lesser
since
this
policy
has
been implemented. For macroscopic view, the less
number of students
could
be
helpful
to
ease
the
stress
of
educational
system
(more
students
and less school), preventing from too
many students taking class in one
room
causing low efficiency and even no rooms for more
children. For
microcosmic view, fewer
children can alleviate burdens on parents who
can
’
t afford the
spending of tuition, and save money for taking
higher
education. Especially in rural
areas, these are far more obvious. In
conclusion, the
China
’
s family planning
policy is helpful for
China
’
s
education
to children and parents as well.

Valerie
M.
Hudson
and
Andrea
den
Boer
intensively
criticize
the
China
’
s
family
planning
policy
by
analyzing
the
cost
of
it.
In
the
words
of
authors,
the
one-child
policy
indeed
helped
to
control
the
China
’
s
population
to
an
acceptable
level,
but,
by
the
time,
it
also
brings
the
social
instability and security risks, such as
masculinized sex ratios (gender
imbalance) and aging society. The
authors point out several serious
problems
which
are
caused
by
the
aging
and
masculinization
to
prove
that
the
one-child
policy
needs
change.
They
also
provide
the
supposition
that
if
the
Chinese
were
to
move
towards
a
two-child
policy,
the
condition
would
be
better.
In
sum,
the
authors
are
in
their
effort
to
persuade
the
audiences to believe this policy has
posed a threat to China.
