The document discusses China's one-child policy which has been in place for 30 years. It summarizes that Chinese officials recently reaffirmed their commitment to continuing the one-child policy for the foreseeable future, despite some debate in Chinese media about potentially loosening the policy. The one-child policy has led to human rights abuses through forced abortions and sterilizations. It has also created social issues like a skewed gender ratio and increased sex trafficking. While the policy aimed to curb population growth and boost the economy, critics argue it has caused much harm.
Gender Imbalance in India Causes and Emerging Issuesijtsrd
The provisional data of 2011 Census has once again highlighted the problem of severe sex imbalance in the country, especially in 0 6 age group. According to Census of 2011, the sex ratio in 0 6 year’s age group has declined to 914 females per 1000 males as compared to 927 in 2001. It shows an increasing trend of male preference as compared to female in the last decade. The phenomenon of son preference is coupled with death of young females due to lack of medical care, under nutrition, female infanticide, and sex selective abortions. Sen 1992, 2003 first addressed the disturbing trend by highlighting that millions of females in India are missing because of widespread neglect in health care, nutrition and prenatal care. The steep decline in sex ratio in northern and western states is a cause of worry. Technological developments permitting sex selective abortions have seriously aggravated sex imbalance in these states. The trend of rapid decline in sex ratio has given rise to serious social, demographic and cultural problems. This present paper attempts to explain the causes for gender imbalance and its implications on the society as a whole. Chandrakant N.

Assessment of Public Information Influence on Sexual Harassment of Men by Wom...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Sexual harassment is a corrupt practice that exists in society. It involves undue pressure on a specific gender in order to exploit sexual interest by an opposite sex. It becomes necessary to ascertain if male lecturers in tertiary institution are sexually harassed by female students in their bid to take advantage of sexual exploits on their victims. This study investigates the veracity of claims that female students are not the only victims of sexual harassment in tertiary institutions, in spite of public information suggesting such an experience. Students resident in Awka town were used in the study. The attribution theory was considered apt in the investigation since it bothers on attitudes and behaviour related to processed information. The survey research method was also considered apt since it is the view of persons, particularly students, who experience the phenomenon in their respective institutions that is required as basis for the assessment. Results from the study are expected to show if public information exerts any influence in curbing sexual harassment of males, assuming it exits

Growing Old Under the One-Child Policy: Current Challenges and the Growing Need for Reform
Student Name
University of Maryland University College
Since China enacted its draconian one-child policy nearly 40 years ago, the country has effectively curbed its explosive population growth, and simultaneously clawed its way into being the world's second-largest economy. However, in contrast to its benefits, the one-child policy has also caused a number of serious complications in China's modern society, namely a gender imbalance, a labor shortage, and, most importantly, a significantly accelerated aging society. As China pours almost all of its planning and resources into its future, the country has all but forgotten about the people who built it in the first place. Research into the effects of the one-child policy has typically focused on the younger or future generations of China. But now, more than ever, the challenges faced by China's aging population are at the forefront. The disparity between traditional eldercare and today's reality under the one-child policy spurred in part by massive internal migration, along with the severe impacts of inadequate care on the elderly population, clearly illustrates China's responsibility to reform its eldercare policies.
Care for the elderly in China has traditionally been provided by each successive generation, with little to no support from the government. Lu, Liu, and Piggott (2015) defined this traditional familial care method as informal care, one of the pillars of the culture's long-term care structure. Through their research, Lu et al. found that there are many factors that determine if an elderly couple will receive long term care from their children, to include education levels and personal wealth. Additionally, they found that male children statistically gave more time and resources in care of their parents than female children, which may have been a factor of China's gender imbalance, another effect of the one-child policy. Finally, Lu et al.’s (2015) research revealed that the likelihood of receiving eldercare dropped significantly if the family had more than one child, a sharp contradiction towards many researchers' theories that more children would result in better long-term eldercare. Informal care as a long-term care option has always been the key to ensuring that the aging population of China is not neglected.
China’s one-child policy has radically impacted the country’s demographic distribution, which, when combined with massive internal migration, has left millions of aging Chinese without care or support. As noted by Chen, Xu, Li, and Song (2018), the combination of lower mortality rates, increased life expectancy, and below-replacement fertility has accelerated China's aging society, heralding new challenges in eldercare for the country. The task of providing informal care, according to Lu, Liu, and Piggott (2018), has traditionally fallen onto the shoulders of younger generations, wi ...

One-Child Policy in China: No End in Sight

One-Child Policy Victim: Ke Chengping (R),a woman from Shanghai,was forced to have an abortion and be
sterilized as a resultof the Chinese regime's one-child policy.(Lisa Fan/The Epoch Times)
As the one-child policyin China approached its 30-year anniversaryon Sept. 25, an internal debate could be seen
playing out in the Chinese media:was the policy a good or bad thing for the country? Should or should itnot be
rescinded?
That was put to rest over the weekend,when population czar Li Bin gave the one-child policythe Chinese Communist
Party's stamp ofapproval by thanking the people of China “for their supportofthe national course.”
“So we will stick to the family-planning policyin the coming decades,” she said.
For Reggie Littlejohn,the announcementthatthe policy would continue came as no surprise.
Littlejohn is presidentofthe NGO Women’s Rights WithoutFrontiers and a longtime campaigner againstthe policy, in
particular againstthe often coercive and cruel means used to forcefully implementit.
Official Distraction
“It…confirm[ed]what I've said all along—China will stick with its One Child Policy for the indefinite future," Littlejohn
wrote in an email to The Epoch Times.
“I mentioned atthe time, and I continue to believe, that the Chinese governmentstrategicallyfloated the rumor that
China is loosening up on the policy to coincide with the release ofChen Guangcheng and his continuing house
arrest,in order to distractfrom that situation.”
Chen Guangcheng is a blind activist who campaigned on behalf ofwomen who were forcefully sterilized and had their
children forcefully aborted.After years of harassmenthe was putthrough a kangaroo court and jailed for four years.
On Sept. 8 he was released after serving the sentence,and then put under house arrest.
Prior to the announcementto continue the policy, Xinhua, the official news agencyof the Chinese CommunistParty
(CCP), published a piece thatlavished praise on the one-child policy. It stated that the Central Committee’s letter
announcing the policy30 years ago “became a milestone in China’s population control and birth control,” and that the
birth control policy “effectively curbed the overly rapid population growth,and in turn promoted economic
development,societal progress and improvementofpeople’s livelihood.”
The People’s Daily,another state mouthpiece,struck a different tone, arguing that China’s population growth is facing
an unprecedentedlycomplexsituation.It said the country’s population remains huge,its demographic profile needs to
be improved,and the gender ratio of newborns is highlyunbalanced.
2. One-Child Policy Crusader:US Congressman Chris Smith holds a press conference in frontof the Capitol building in
Washington,DC,criticizing the one-child policy,on September 24,2010.(Lisa Fan/The Epoch Times)
Reflecting on Damage Done
The 30-year anniversaryof the one-child policywas an opportunity for foreign observers to look back at the legacy it
has wroughtover the years.
On Sept. 24, outside the Capitol building in Washington,D.C., Congressman Chris Smith led a news conference to
that end.
Congressman Smith described itas “a cruel and inhumane policy,a human rights violation that is,in scope and
seriousness,the worsthuman rights abuse in the world today.”
Ke Chengping,a woman from Shanghai and victim of the policy, spoke at the event. During her factory’s annual
physical exam, Ke had found that she was pregnant.She had begged the staff at the Birth Control Office to allow her
to keep the baby, but instead she was immediatelyhospitalized for a forced abortion.
A doctor performed the operation with no anesthetic,and sterilized her via inserting a sterilization device without
seeking her permission.Ke said she was deeplytraumatized by the experience.
Apart from individual harm,the policy and its coercive implementation have created numerous social problems,critics
say. They point to the badly skewed ratio of males and females,the 500 female suicides in China per day, and the
rise in sex-trafficking because Chinese males lack female partners.

China's One-Child Policy Comes of Age
The Research of Assistant Professor Vanessa Fong
Harvard Graduate School of Education
September 1, 2004
by Leslie Brokaw
The Chinese government initiated an aggressive and experimental policy in 1979, requiring that urban families
limit themselves to one child each. This was a huge change: Chinese women averaged six births a piece in
1970, and parents traditionally relied on a large number of offspring to provide an economic security blanket.
The purpose of the initiative, says HGSE assistant professorVanessa Fong, was to help the country leapfrog
from a Third-World economy into the First-World economy by mimicking First-World fertility and education
patterns.
