In 1978 China implemented the “one child policy” limiting
families to one child. By the late 1970s, China was concerned about its
ballooning population and the assumed drain on modernization. Great emphasis
was placed on delaying births and limiting the number of children as
a policy to reduce the population and facilitate overall development.
The print depicts the “four benefits” of the policy: “beneficial
to the four modernizations; to rearing children; to education; and to
the standard of living.” |
