Should India have a One Child Policy?

In my opinion, if India adopts 01 child policy somewhere we are creating a new problem unknowingly reason behind till now we Indian believe in son or daughter if it will be forceful then most of the people go for abortion so it effects on gender equality so government should make a strict law for adopting 2 children.

Yes, I believe that India should have a child policy because we are in the first position in population so we can control it but in my point of I agree with the point of Shalini that the government Should adopt at least a two-child policy it will also control the population.

Yes, I think India should strictly have to follow this rule of one child policy just to control the population of our country and also the main thing was to utilise all the resources easily if the population can be controlled so there will never face any problems like the stagnation of the resources I think Indian government should badly implement this and think about that matter for the better economy.

As per my view, India should have one child policy as we know population of India is go increase day by day if we don't implement this policy we have the largest population in world till 2050 To control overpopulation is only way 5hat can apply but in India people of village are not much educated as they may take some time to adopt this thing. So my conclusion is that. India should have one child policy but by proper rules and implementation also take before adopted like women empowerment. Etc.

I'd like to put forward my point of view, here which is if we try to look at the issue in a horizontal manner there are some major drawbacks as well as advantages on implementing such a policy.

Advantages being that it's going to put a hold on the rapidly rising population which is something to be gravely looked into. Since adopting a one child policy is definitely going to provide with more amount of resources to be utilized by the people. Furthermore, a lesser amount of wastage, lesser consumption.

Whereas, if we trying focusing on the drawbacks it does make it very lonely for a single child to be in a family. Makes it worse, if both the parents are working. To have a sibling is something all of us prefer. Moreover, when the parents grow older, the responsibility to look after them can be divided among their children. Given the kind of work pressure and busy life, most people have in today's time. Which does make life easier for all of them? That's it from my side. Thank you.

Hi All,

I feel that the one-child policy is more suitable for a developed nation like the USA and not for India, as we are still in the developing phase of growth. Maybe after a few years from now we will think of this policy.

Although we are currently no 1 in population at the same time we must know that youth has a major role in the development of the country. Hence "Hum do and humare do" would be a nice version of the one-child policy and it will also balance the sex ratio of the country.

Good evening team.

My name is Baidya.

I’m glad to start on discussion on the topic of "Should India adopt single child policy?

In my point of view, Yes, India should adopt a single-child policy, as this day is India’s number one in population point of view adopting single child policy, the first child standard of education, the standard of health care, and a great balance of life could be maintained. If more than one child is in any family then this will lead to dividing the whole wealth into two parts. So the single-child policy is beneficial in all points of view.

Thanks.

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.

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!

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!
