■ Read the two paragraphs below on population policies. Follow the steps provided on the previous page to restructure the information from the paragraphs. [A] Different Approaches to Population Control Policies Various countries have implemented population control policies to address overpopulation. China's One-Child Policy, introduced in 1979, limited family size to one child per family, with exceptions for rural families and ethnic minorities. While it successfully slowed population growth, it also led to unintended consequences such as an aging population, gender imbalances, and a declining workforce. In contrast, India promotes family planning initiatives like birth control and education about family size and health. However, challenges remain, including high fertility rates in some regions and resistance due to cultural and religious beliefs. Despite these challenges, the country continues to allocate resources to address these issues, although many still struggle to afford such measures. [B] Rethinking Population Control: The Need for New Approaches As the global population continues to surge, governments around the world must reconsider their approaches to population control. The old methods, characterized by strict regulations and coercive measures, are not only ethically problematic but also ineffective in the long run. Instead, a focus on education, women's rights, and economic development is crucial. Empowering women by providing access to education and employment opportunities leads to delayed marriage and having children, resulting in smaller family sizes. Additionally, addressing economic development and improving healthcare access can naturally reduce birth rates, fostering a more sustainable approach to managing population growth. 1.
