The two child policy will create an atmosphere which supports a greater family support system for the care of their elders. As the proportion of China's elderly within the total population increases rapidly, unless the state can continue to relegate the support of the elderly to the family, the costs of social security will absorb growing chunks of public revenues and reduce the amount of state funds available for economic development (Greenhalgh 2003, p196-215))

Indications are that the two children, delayed fertility policy would find much more acceptance among the population than the current policy (Hardee, 2003, p68-76). Other costs of enforcement, such as expenses for ideological work, monitoring of births and their timing, contraceptives and medical services, would probably be the same under the one child policy (Lavely and Freedman, 1990, p89-116)
This will place a burden on the support systems which may lead to a decrease quality of life and create more economic strain on elderly people and society. Geriatric departments have developed due to the growing need to provide care for retired government officials and workers (Poston, 2002, p333-47) Physicians that are currently in the geriatric department are specialized in other areas and develop future geriatricians through residents who are trained in the geriatric department
3) Two- children policy; in five provinces, Hainan, Ningxia, Qinghai, Yunnan, and Xinjiang, all rural couples are allowed to have two children." (Scharping, 2003, p67-88) Also married couples which come from one child families are allowed to have more than one child
Population signifies the production prospective of the country and also indicates large amounts of state spending to maintain this population's health, education, and welfare programs. (Wang, 2005, p117-28) An immense population has created severe economic burden on the country's economy, that taking control of the population is important in sustaining economic success
Also governments can enforce taxes to redistribute income and provides subsidies for the disadvantaged groups. (White, 2000, p74-78) But still health disparities persist and only benefit a portion of the population
So although there may have been increased economic growth, the issues pertaining to the size of the population overwhelm these potential benefits and may even weaken existing support systems. (Winckler, 2002, p379-418) While the one child policy is controversial, it is effective in reducing population growth
These minute changes, with a small culture family mindset, have eased the passage for the government to gradually relax the one child policy. (Matthews and Victor, 2002, p606-32) Conclusion The objective of family planning in China is to control the population quantity and improve population quality
Resources that were gained from the decrease in demographic growth should be reallocated in medical care and social security. (McElroy and Dennis, 2000, p389-92) Although improving these sectors of society may be more of an arduous task, it must be done to attain a balance of population development
Also by enforcing a uniform policy in all areas of the country, it would be easier for political officials to align policy with ideology across the country. (Liu et al
These findings have crucial implications for China's population policy because they permit resolution of the conflict between the government objective of low fertility, which is needed to control population size, and individual desires for at least two children. (Short and Zhai, 1998, p373-88) In fact, with the additional requirement of a delay in childbearing, a successful stop-at-two policy can be as effective in curbing population growth as a successful one child policy (Poston, 2002, p333-47)
In 1972 Limits to Growth, a study based on a computer model developed by three researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to investigate five major trends of social concern: accelerated industrial development, rapid population growth, widespread malnutrition, depletion of nonrenewable resources, and a deteriorating environment. While the researchers acknowledged the model was imperfect, oversimplified and unfinished, they concluded that present growth trends in world population, industrialization, pollution, food production, and resource depletion continued unchanged the limits of growth on this planet will be reached sometime within the next one hundred years (Bailey)
Mosher claims the most important factor in all of this is the number of live births, as long as that figure is decreasing how it is accomplished is immaterial. Other research indicates there have been a number of other unforeseen consequences as a result of this policy including the loss of a demographic benefit (Liu), gender disparities, unregistered children, an aging population, and other social matters (Pascu)

Malthus asserted the only way to keep population in line with the available food supply were through a series of population 'checks' which included war, famine, and disease. Furthermore, Malthus asserted that modern civilizations also used preventative checks, such as delayed marriage and abstinence; however despite these checks humans still put a strain on available resources (Mayhew)
Women are free to voluntarily select the timing and spacing of their pregnancies. There are no targets and quotas for births and sterilizations, abortion is not promoted as a method of family planning, and coercion does not exist (Mosher)
This translates to approximately 438 million people outnumbering the entire population of the United States. The dominance of this population demographic means that fewer young people will be left to pay taxes and take care of the elderly (Nakra)
