प्रश्न
“In the late 1970s, China introduced the One-child policy that led to arrest in the population coupled with skewed sex ratio.”
Justify the given statement with valid arguments in support of your answer.
उत्तर
China is the most populous country in the world. Its annual population growth rate was very high. The one-child norm introduced in China in the late 1970s is the major reason for fall in the population growth rate.
However, this measure led to a decline in the sex ratio. The number of females per 1000 males in China is approximately 949. One-child policy and prevalent son-preference is the prime reason behind the skewed sex ratio.
