The legacy of China's one child policy

World Update

Available for over a year

Thirty-five years ago today saw the start of perhaps the biggest experiment in social engineering the world's ever seen: a programme by the Chinese Communist Party to curb population growth. It became known as the One Child Policy. World Update examines its legacy with the 91福利社's Asia Pacific Editor Micky Bristow, and Kai Wang, who was born in Beijing in 1988.
