But will it actually? A Fine Balance No one discussing the subject can ignore the China evidence. Since the policy was implemented in , China has seen million fewer births, which has resulted in 18 million fewer tonnes of CO2 emissions a year. TFR is the number of children, on average, born to each woman in the country during her lifetime.
While fertility measures in China are still highly uncertain, most experts agree that the TFR is now well below 2.
But there is also the US evidence to consider. In , the US emitted In fact, population is growing slowly or even declining in most G20 countries that have the highest per capita emissions.
This is because the impact of a large population on emissions is determined by not just the number of people consuming goods, but also the intensity of that consumption.
As many as 17 Indians use as much as just one American citizen in terms of carbon and environmental resources. They reduced their population, but enormously increased the affluence of their population.
In this respect they point once again, to the China example. But critics of the policy say it could have unintended consequences for India. An April study published in the British Medical Journal found that in , China had 32 million more boys than girls under the age of 20 and for the next 20 years, China will have increasingly more men than women of reproductive age. That skewed sex ratio is because Chinese families prefer boys.
Crime rates, bride trafficking, sexual violence, even female suicide rates are all rising and will rise further as the lopsided generations reach their maturity. Already, despite no one-child policy, India is emulating China; according to Super-Freakonomics authors Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner, our country currently has 35 million more men than women. Thus the context of the question. Analyse if one-child policy can aid India in controlling its population and should India put a limit on child for its population control measures.
Analyze — When asked to analyse, you have to examine methodically the structure or nature of the topic by separating it into component parts and present them as a whole in a summary. India is already overpopulated. Although the population has been a problem acknowledged by the government, it has been growing continuously, non-stop. Explain why exceeding population growth is an issue. If passed, the bill would make it mandatory for individuals to seek permission from officials if they want to have more than two children, permission that could be denied if sufficient cause was not met.
Two-thirds of world population will live in cities by UN report. There is water, roads, health, sanitation: how will you give all these facilities if the population keeps increasing," Patel told CNN.
The bill's introduction opened up a debate, which was followed by more than legislators submitting a letter to the president of India, Ram Nath Kovind, in August and appealing for him to take their demand seriously. There is no place to build homes. In this situation, there should be some control on population," Ganesh Singh, one of the legislators demanding the implementation told CNN. But B. Paswan, head of the department of population policies and programmes at the International Institute for Population Sciences highlighted the proposition is simply not realistic.
People will reject it. The two-child policy is not possible with the socio-economic condition of the country," he said. While they are less severe than China's one-child policy, the two-child laws in India are still considered problematic and discriminatory.
