Consider the article from the previous question and the read the following articles about the Communist Chinese One Child Policy.

Communist Chinese leaders have one thing wrong. Population growth does not preclude economic growth. Every country which has experienced economic growth where the amount of income, standard of living and life expectancy have increased over an extended period of time has also experienced a concomitant increase in population. Historical data shows a strong correlation between income growth and population growth. The commonly held belief that a country whose populations grows "too fast" or "too much" cannot create wealth and economic growth is wrong.

The second thing questionable about communist Chinese population policy is how to bring about a drop in the fertility rate (the number of live births a woman will have over her lifetime) and the population growth rate.

Started in 1980, the policy, which prohibits most Chinese couples form having more than one baby and limits rural residents to two, has resulted in severe human rights abuses. Family planning officials frequently jail couples who refuse to comply, sentence them to house arrest or labor camps, revoke jobs or governmental support, use physical harassment or violence and often target other family members.
