Description: |
This report discusses the impact of China limiting most families to one child, or in certain circumstances, two children. This is the description from the National Geographic website, "...host Lisa Ling examines the consequences of China's two-decades-old, 'one-child policy,' designed to curb the country's exploding population. Due to cultural, social, and economic factors, traditional preference leans toward boys, so girls are often hidden, aborted, or abandoned. As a result, tens of thousands of girls end up in orphanages across China." |
| Editorial Board Review: |
Appropriate for high school students learning about contemporary issues in China. |
