Should India have a One Child Policy?

Hello everyone, as our topic of discussion is "Should India have a one child policy".
According to my point of view, every coin has two sides; similarly, this statement also has two sides. First, that's true if this policy is imposed, then our population will be in control, and our country will run in a more efficient manner. Those parents who cannot afford to many expenses of their children will face fewer problems in their parenting. Somewhere, our country will look more managed.

But on the other side, I also do have this perspective that imposing a one-child policy will hinder those creative minds which could have done very well if they could come and live their life.

So in the end, I would like to say that instead of focusing on these policies, we should focus on how to exponentially increase our incomes, control expenses and how to be an asset for our country instead of being a liability.

Yes, this should become compulsory for our country because there is 150 cr population in India in 2025, and around 50% of the population is less than 35 years old. Then we do not need much younger than this to make our country manufacturning hub.

If we continue to do "TWO CHLID POLICY" it will better because in India most people wants two child one daughter and one son but there is also big chunk of population who thinks that childern is so called "GOD BLESSING". So, they end up being parents of 4 or 5 childern and due to this they will be never able to feed their childern proprely and educate them.

Hello all!

I do agree with so many participants who support that India shouldn't adopt one child policy because that might slow down the number of youth population over a certain period and ultimately might lead to the result which china is already facing!

However, I would like to add another perspective to this! for example with rising inflation, and everything becoming expensive for so many parents to raise their child in a balanced env, for them one child or even no child policy might work best! (At least a child won't have to suffer for basic needs)

So the point I want to state is that the one child policy is good for those who could afford the living cost expenses to raise a child. So instead of arguing over whether one child is good or not, we should focus and find out solutions to generate more employmment and econ growth because this is proportional!

Hello everyone, so the topic of our GD is 'Should India have a child policy'.

As we all know we are the country of the largest population in the world because of that we can see there are several issues are arising in today's time like unemployment, health issues and family planning.

But I think in my opinion the one-child policy is not something which helps or there may be a possibility that this policy may create some adverse effects like a reduction in the number of young people and the ones who can do a job efficiently and positively.

I think we need to improve our technology and innovation to combat the issues related to unemployment and health issues like the other countries japan and China they also have one of the largest populations in the world but because of their innovation and technological developments, they are not facing this kind of issues.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Sagar Gupta, Let's start discussing today's topic "Implementation of One Child Policy in India".

I think this question arises because of the overpopulation problem that India is facing right now which is hindering the employment level, health issues, population and whatnot.

But Implementation of this policy is myopic it might help with the problems that I said earlier but in the long run we might create issues like what's happening in China, where more than 50 percent of their population is old which might lead to lower workforce participation and decrease the growth rate of any country.

So, we should go slow and rather than having drastic policies like this we take step by step like first strengthening our ongoing campaigns like "Bache do hi ache".

Thankyou.

My opinion on this topic is that India should not adopt this policy because we are Indians we live in a joint family, and we have a culture that we can stay with many people in comparison to living alone. If parents are capable of taking care of two children, and giving them well and good education then the child have a sibling, that he can play with, go to school and many more things.

Hello all,

According to my perspective. One child policy seems like a ban while viewing the outcomes of the policy in different aspects.

Childbearing giving birth is something which has an emotional connection with humans. Many families have 2 or more children due to some common reasons yet valid reasons like they do not want their child being grow lonely unaware of the sibling bond and in some cases, the parents want multiple heirs for their savings and earnings etc.

Rather than keenly focusing on the one-child policy, the government can plan on developing the country to accommodate a growing population rightfully.

While the idea of a one-child policy may address some of India's population-related challenges, the negative consequences and ethical concerns likely outweigh the potential benefits. Policies aimed at improving education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, particularly for women, tend to be more effective and less intrusive ways of managing population growth.

Encouraging voluntary family planning and providing access to contraceptive methods can also help achieve sustainable population levels without the need for coercive measures.

No, absolutely not, because India is 2nd largest country in the world in the manner of population and it has a great history and thoughts of ancestors to grow and live with family. In a single child, a family will not become a joint family and remain a nuclear family so it causes many effects on human find because there will not be a present to guide a boy and no one other bro/sis to play with him. Then he will not know the feeling of family and then our India will become like England and us there condition of the family are worst and now China is facing the same problem and their sex ratio is facing a problem so we should learn from other countries what are happening in other countries then implement here.

Hello everyone.

My name is Harshit.

In my opinion India should not adopt a child policy because it increases the killing of girl children. Still, we also want to reduce the problems due to the High population, so we need to educate people that they are born with 2 children.
