In 1980, China enforced the One-Child Policy Act to due to overpopulation issues as a result of Mao Zedong's policies, as he competed with Russia for power. Once he dies in 1979, China had to look at the population issues as there was a shortage of housing and resources— and they were continuing to multiply. Something had to be done, so the government enforce Martial Law and only allowed families to have one child.

(To examine in depth the One-Child Policy Act of 1979 under Mao Zedong's leadership, click here.)

However, now the One-Child Policy has created a downward shift in population, and as the older generation dies, the population is declining at significant rates. In 2016, to encourage population growth, China's government put in to play the Two-Child Policy pleading with its citizens, "Please have a second child". When that wasn't working, in 2021, they pass a Three-Child Policy.

This lesson examines and compares China's Child Policy Acts throughout the years and their effectiveness, also giving students the opportunity to provide their opinion of various scenarios.

OBJECTIVES:

• Understand the guidelines of the One-Child Policy Act, Two-Child Policy
  Act, and Three-Child Policy Act
• Examine the cause and effect of China's child policy acts
• Determine the effectiveness of each of China's child policy acts
• Understand Population Density

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

• Technology to display a video from the introductory list
• Reading Activity: One-Child Policy Act (1980), Two-Child Policy Act (2016), Three-Child Policy Act (2021)
• KWL Reading Activity & Share (Included)
• Painters Tape
• Laminated Agree and Disagree Sign (Tape to the wall)
• PowerPoint: Examining China’s Child Policies (Included in zip file)
• Exit Cards

• China's One-Child Policy
• China's Two-Child Policy
• China's Three-Child Policy
