China implemented the one-child policy to combat overpopulation by reducing birth rates, despite facing challenges such as gender imbalances in the population.
The primary reason for China's anti-natal policy was to combat overpopulation by reducing birth rates. The implementation of the one-child policy in 1979 aimed to control population growth through strict enforcement, including fines, loss of employment, forced abortions, and sterilizations.
