Talk:One-child policy

Risk of death from birth

The article says that one-child policy reduces the risk from death from birth-related injuries. Is this common in China (and therefor relevant)? A citation would be good in section "Impact on health care". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.103.217.106 (talk) 08:51, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Clear Bias in Article

I'm not Chinese, but there appears to be a clear bias in the article from perhaps countries with no population controls. Look at the 'benefits' vs. 'criticisms' sections. The benefits section is tiny, despite there being a clear problem with overpopulation in the world. It seems like this was done deliberately with a POV. 81.97.120.96 (talk) 14:31, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

A Wikipedia article is meant to reflect the information available in published reliable sources. If you think there are more benefits that should be listed, feel free to add them, making sure to cite reliable sources. The population-related benefit is, I think, obvious (in that it is the whole point of the policy, as stated clearly in the second paragraph of the introduction section) and there's not much more that can be said about it. rʨanaɢ (talk) 16:25, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Hui people

The Huis are exempted from this policy. This could be incorporated into the article by the main contributors.

Proposed Update

Forecast of China's Population pyramid from International Futures

Hi all,

I wanted to see if anyone would be opposed to an update of the population pyramid for the page.

I believe this image is an upgrade, because it shows the longer term implications of the One-child policy. Additionally, it displays age cohort years on the left. This more easily informs those interested on the timing of the one-child policy historically and its implications on today's population structure.

I've spoken with editors on the WikiProject Countries and the Reliable sources pages, and they've approved of the use of International Futures as source on country pages -- provided that consensus is met with other editors. I'd just like to see if any of you have any thoughts on the matter. I look forward to hearing from you. (Shredder2012 (talk) 20:36, 6 February 2012 (UTC))

It looks like you already did this in the absence of opposition. I think it's very helpful.—Zujine|talk 22:32, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

It's very nice. It would be perfect if you could add past years from 1980 onwards as well, in order to show the policy's consequences in full. --Roentgenium111 (talk) 13:24, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
