Should India have a One Child Policy?

I think India needs a one-child policy at least for next 10 years to reduce population growth. It is need for the survival of human being and the eco system of nature.

Human consumption is damaging natural eco system because human survival need chemical use in 90% of their daily need and chemical is not natural product.

Soil quality becomes poor, tempature is increasing due water consumtion from soil. Agri production is full of pesticide, milk adultration is fact and many more reasons are due to over demand which comes from over population. We all responsible citizen of this country should support 1 child policy.

India should definitely have a "one child policy" since the evergrowing population resuts in contant knocking down of the environment. We currently have so many problems ongoing like unequal resource distribution, shortage of food and water resources in isolated ireas. Despite of this having no policies regarding population may result in decline of a standard life. People need to know that India won't flourish this way. Adequate knowldge and proper awareness should be provided about this topic.

Yes, India should definitely have a child policy.

The population in India is increasing at a rapid rate. The increasing population is one of the reasons for unemployment. The forest land is decreasing. People should be made aware of the increasing population and its disadvantages.

No. I would prefer that India can follow a policy to have 2-3 children but not more than that. I can't say this rule of thumb can be across all segments of society viz. , rich, middle class and poorer sections uniformly. All depends on the affordability of parents to provide quality education and life to their children. In turn, the risks in having one child are many, like social, health, financial, education, employment related issues. What if the single child is handicapped or goes astray when grows old? We have also experience gender related issues in our country. Today, the expectations and lifestyles of new generation are changing very fast, to the detriment of the parents. Such gaps are very difficult to manage and families get ruined. I can go on and on.

Well, population growth in India is declined quite well.

And India possesses 47 per cent of world's youth. If we look at China, which once was suffering from a population explosion, now giving incentives to its citizens to get married and produce babies.

Because in the past years, China has drastically alleviated poverty from its country and since 1978 it has got 75 per cent of its under-poverty population to the middle class or upper.

So it is simple to understand when there is less poverty or no poverty there is automatically less population growth rate.

It is to be believed that if govt fixed its policies to help people under the poverty line, the country's issues like population growth and gender inequality will automatically either disappear or will reduce remarkably.

Or otherwise it's easy to say that it is unemployment because of its population growth. And this is simply to hide the negligence of the government itself.

It's a great topic to discuss whether "India should follow a one-child policy or not. ".

Based on the population growth it is the policy of one child can be obeyed but when we think about a family of minimum 4 members it is a small family. If we implement a one-child policy, a child feel bored alone at home without siblings. Always siblings are the best companions and friends with whom we can share everything.

It has both positive and negative edges so few considerations must be taken before implementing the policy.

Thank you.

According to my point of view on this topic. India should not use one child policy because when we use one child policy the sex ratio of males and females is different because of ratio have both male and female.

Yes, I agree with the point that our population has tremendously increased. But, I don't think so that imposing 1 child policy can be a good solution to this problem.

Hello, Everyone.

I am Vivek, I want to discuss on this topic of the one-child policy in India. In my consideration, India has to apply a child policy because, in the last 5 years, India's population has increased a high impact on our youth so a one-child policy can control population increment.

Thank you.

I completely disagree with the above-mentioned statement.

Because We Indians say Youths are the backbone of India. If we adopt a one-child policy now think about the situation after 20-30 years. The Number of youths will drastically reduce which will have a direct impact on the productivity of our country.
