You should know how stuff works that are you look into the park cast Iron Josh Park with me, as always, is Charles Dubuque Truckers Brian,

you know one day, I'm not gonna show up as you. Both I feel like I'm Johnny Chuck, Japan, czech girl. I judge taking his pretty accurate good luck with this and of its good? Although I get to be surplus answer you ready for low the this afternoon, certainly the amateur beckoned, nineteen, forty nine short little thirty six years before Ghostbusters Apple, cheat, no thirty. Five short little happy apple, cheat chinese man. They MAO Zedong, also known as Chairman MAO establish the People's Republic of China, has ah yes and are one of the things that they were

being on was reproduction. I guess it's the only way to put it: ok, the the communist government under Chairman MAO. They oppose birth control, the ban, the import of contraceptives and, in forty nine he said of all things in the world. People are the most precious ready for the ironic twist. Yes, thirty years later, China catapulted itself the forefront of state controlled reproduction, which, what came to be known as its one child policy right discuss. You know the protagonist out free became nineteen. Forty nine knew that the life expectancy in China was then like seven,

thirty five years old, holy cow and its seventy four years old man with the with the communist government came things like sanitation, a relative peace to a war had had beleaguered China for generation. I've been killing people left and right and, as a result, the population just guy rocketed indeed, and the old image of China that we have is probably like four five kids couple: appearance, couplet, grandparents and anti and uncle like pact together living in a house, but not your anymore, known anymore, because the one child policy, so let's talk about this, this is something people might have heard it before. But first of all, why did it come about? It came about in the population skyrocketing right. I've got some more info. Actually you ready for this. You know how it really came about. You didn't look at any this song. Jean no ok are wrong and learn here

Let's hear MR smart, apparently there was a systems control specialist in China in eighteen. Seventy eight he decides to visit Europe and back then he was kind of isolated from outside world. Like many people in China, Why, then, is generally pretty known for isolation here? So he does Europe and he picks up a little book called the limits to growth you're her this limits, growth was really controversial. Book study put out by a think tank club of Rome and basically, they said in a nutshell: the world will end by twenty seventy because of population over and they brought it up the big fanfare, along with the blueprint for survival, which was, seventy two in England who basically said that people in Britain were were reproducing to Quicken they couldn't maintain. He goes back

none of these books, and he said it. You know really make sense to me, and so he was connected. He formed a little group and decided to take it to the government and said hey we're gonna. You know you start applying these studies and these statistics to China and said we're in big trouble yeah, and so he took all this stuff and basically it was from their that leap, frog that catapulted rather into a reality. However, the thing is: is that whole limits to growth apparently was a bunch of bank and it was based on bad statistics and the co founder. I'm sorry, the founder of the Book of room you actually helped right. The book came out a couple years later and they had a retraction the said they wanted to jolt people from the comfortable idea. The present growth trends continue endeavour, so the basically so we're trying to scare people everywhere cooked up a much studies which led to China's one child policy. Here

pretty that Song Jean that's the only thing, though I think China has never apologize for its policy in one of the reasons why they instituted it was because the population was growing rapidly Yom witches I write that the reason that determine Mouselike, reproduce reproduce was because his vision for China was this huge booming call right based on tons and tons of labour rights. Gonna make sense in a way it does make sense. The problem is right. China has a quarter of the world's population, but only seven percent of the world's arable land. That's that's all. There is the rub right there yeah. So one of one of the reasons in addition to this are fake book. The institute, the one China policy was too slow. This population growth right and it worked tremendous

right there, you know night, while it it worked to the tune of about four hundred million kids not born there right. I depends on how you four hundred a high and that I've seen a ghost I seen his tune and fifty million are you still bits of stance? since for the last thirty years you know they said, and nineteen eighty was that the watts had officially carbon a population family planning, Commission of China, state agency. There runs the reproduction control, they said nineteen, eighty that we must have a cap and that by the year two thousand of one point, two billion people and it's pretty to that data is one point, two seven they were too far off, but that's chinese figures and thereby continue to grow and others. One point three three x more than that sells. Two thousand eight Apparently, every year China adds the population of belgian to its own population. Ten million people they litter bring over everyone from Belgium. Yet though it come on, then an item has to start from scratch. Again they get the ten million every Jane you.

Belgium or I'm gonna, get a belgian auxiliary. Getting richer trip to China will now can thus take my claim there in Belgium does move into some move you to China's eventually check on Austria, Can we have this huge population explosion? It's still going just because if you have one point three billion People even allowing them to have one kid sure, is The added at an ever. Your eyes, the projection, I believe, by twenty fifty their expected to peek at one point: six billion: that's a lot that is alive. But actually that's nothing compared to what it would have been had. They not institute this policy, which at first was when's Harry and they saw a greater decline in fruit fertility when this policy was voluntary right in nineteen seventy they had a fertility rate of. I think six. He hath

and by no means six births per one woman, so people understand at me on that's the mean yeah and then by nineteen seventy nine. It was down to three tacitly half their fertility rate is now in the urban areas. One point seven answer in the urban areas, one point three, and rural areas to point out for about a one point: seven average right, but even still, if the numbers that less of a decline than there was when it was voluntary. Yes, what China started out with was a campaign called the woodchuck late long few long and few. So you marry late in life and you a long time in between births, and you have few children right in couples who volunteer for this gear little certificate here. What's it called the certificate of honor for single chow

Parents must be nice. I guess I miss out analogies over here frame. It depends on a picture. We should also say that the one child policy that was instituted a nineteen, seventy nine out, no, if we actually came out, said that yeah yeah, that was when it officially became a mandate The one China policy, at least at First generally in practice has been has restricted exclusively the Han ethnic majority. Those are the people who are really subject to one child policy here and The people who are under the most restrictions are urban couples from the Han majority

I think, minorities are allowed to have more kids. They generally been excluded from the ones how policy. While you have to get permission, I think, if you're in the royal, yet to get legal permission, I have a second child. If your first born is a girl and if you're not from an order, you can have three kids. Will you bring up a really good point? That's one of the huge by products. This this one child policy is that their China, the culture of China, is the term. The culture has been accused of preferring boy over girls to the tune of encouraging abortions for females stuff. Like that, that's true, but that's not been floated it's true. It is

at the very least, been tons and tons of reports and allegations of theirs. I, if state pressure, if not state mandated abortions or, at the very least local mandated local, pressured abortion by one of the one of the ways. China, still has an a low abortion rate, twenty five percent of the female population for having an abortion where the? U S, forty three percent higher than I thought, that's apparently really low, is Thea at the very least low, compared to any Dodo evident. Ok, there's probably a lot of girls out there who are willing to say that they had an abortion and have been still. Let's say that those numbers are completely accurate right. China has twenty five percent of ordinary. U S! Forty three percent, one of the reasons that they ve been able to maintain a low abortion.

Comparatively is through open and universal access to contraception. Yes, These instead illustration is what they prefer when there are. Ninety percent of contraception is long term right. They don't do the condom. The birth control feel that much normal service sector is, of course, in China now, and they put it on the woman because again that they have been accused of preferring boys

very patriarchal society right. You can't do that, though, in the long run cause I've got another stat pillow friends, I want to tell you about love book, the very easy way to personalize a book to someone you love in three easy steps.

Eve, Especial twenty percent discount, that is it love book online, dotcom, slash crash in the end, they think in the future. I would say: fifteen percent of the men in China won't have access to a wife. Not there aren't enough women. There won't be enough women right which itself as a problem, but it also gives rise to other problems, apparently has been a huge rise in prostitution, which has led to a huge rise in the prevalence of HIV. Teacher. Ah, there's been all sorts of social maladies, I guess among men who can't find a wife and mean imagine like they're, just not being away out there, that you can find to marry in settle down with, like it's just not an option for you. Fifteen percent are going to produce all manner of psychological and social problem, absolutely so yeah there's. This is also too weird things that are kind of popping up from this one child

another one that has to use the word weird more like horrific, is female. Infanticide. We said that China been accused of preferring voice over girl. Right. There are, sir, I should say there are surveys out there. There are facts and figures that China puts out that contradict any criticism here, but that there are two sides to this coin, but in the west there's lots and lots of accusation female infanticide. Apparently it was traditional until the cultural Revolution in it started to kind of pick back up again. There's no statistics are figures on how many girls might be killed at birth, but number one apparently are the abortion after ultra sound sex screening. Sexting was so prevalent that, in writing only for China Band Sex screening neonatal prenatal.

Ex screening wildly couldn't tell whether you are you're having a boy or girl. There's a private sector. That's picked up that. I still lack the will give you an ultrophone to let you know what you're, having sure and apparently the of the female infanticide. If you view abortion is, infanticide has increased when he rain infanticide under like the medical or sociological definition of killing a child when its born or leaving it to die, is still around right and that those are reflected in the boy and girl ratio right right, which are which is pretty significant. It doesn't sound a lot, but what it would only took two thousand five, an estimated one hundred and eighteen boys were born for every one hundred girls and that peaked at one hundred and thirty. Ways for every one hundred girls and compare to the rest of the world or industrialized countries. I should say rough

A hundred and four two hundred and seven boys for every one hundred girls yeah so deftly the death of one of the reasons why boys would be preferred is they can earn more? then a woman, yeah, let's say a woman marries a man she gets married also gets absorbed into the man's family. What happens to the parents? Here's part of the problem will happen soon. Seventy percent of China's aging population doesnt have a pension they

have fallen case over there. They don't save the government stirring to encourage. This is what I see as the biggest problem. Maybe this is a huge huge problem. Who's gonna take care of people when they're getting older, so here's here's what resulted a phenomenon called for to one right. You have a couple: it's the two yet and there they are responsible for the care of one child rights and for parents for grandparents. Yes, so that's like the new family structure as far as financial support get right and as you keep having just one child, one child that forty one struck keeps going on and there's one six well, you know I mean right that one child will have to be responsible for the care of, ultimately, six, if everyone is still alive his appearance in the four grandparents all they need to killing the grandparents This is too much of a burden. I would expect that right now, because that that well yeah, I guess, if it's a boy and he has no one to marry.

Sure and he's unlucky enough now that wouldn't worker, if it were just a boy and he never married, he just be responsible for his own parents. But what about the grandparents again, I think that on the points they may, there was as your parents, old and the grandparents or hang in there I'll, send you during their seventies, your grandparents or in their nineties an ear thy soul, child rut if you're lucky enough to marry, there are no great if your grandparents are dead right. Treasure Stiller saddled with two sets of grandparents and child right, and that's what you're responsible for providing for right now. That's a big problem. Part of that is has been alleviated by a revision in the policy who wear Irving couples who are only children themselves. Right can have

more than one child truth, so that leads to siblings, but you have to apply to their zeal the right, the still very much and unless you're an ethnic minority. I think you have to apply for a child if you're an ethnic minority. Ok, another revision that they had Chuck was they'd strip the local birth quotas. As is the birth permits? Ok yeah. They are they strip the requirement to obtain these birth permits and allow the provinces recently right, yeah, which basically, they did it by taking away the requirement to get a birth permit for a first birth right. So what happened before was any locality? Had a quota of how many births could occur say in a year or a month, or something like that,

If that quota was filled already, some couple applying for a permit to have a birth would be denied, ran until the next cycle. That it is not some offer family planning, but this is. This is Turbo family planning. What's nice is their aside from these social problems. It actually has led China to become a burgeoning economy right. I mean it's actually worked in an economic sense, but in a socio economic sense, its. Yes, it's exacting these huge tall. I do have a couple of steps back that before they instituted this policy, the population poverty was two hundred and fifty million. That's been reduced to forty million, while an education of the average fifteen year old went from four point five years to eight point. Five years when you hear something amazing discovered matches all the cat

back. That you learn at the end of your first year automatically dollar for dollar, with no limit on how much you can earn amazing. Can I being showered with cash from above, which would also be put phasing in fact, it's so amazing that millions of people a year are getting their cash back matched. They just can't get enough whether it's raining down on your head, reining in your bank account it's your cash back and discovers matching. It discover cash back match. What are you waiting for? Learn? More discover, dotcom, slash cash back match, so these are the stats. China's gonna point to clearly say that

working, and you can't, I think it's so easy to vilify China for this. The christian pro life groups are hugely against one child policy, because it does suborn abortion right very clearly. So there's a lot of people opposed to it, but if you're an economist and may be an economist with thumb, no heart damage your prefrontal cortex, then,

it makes a lot of sense, a networked. They ve also started the girl care program you heard about and that, basically, in a nutshell, kind of trying to encourage the fact that girls have value and worth and are not second class citizens. You like that billboard do yeah the billboards billboard in China that certainly he by province. It says there is no difference between having a girl or a boy. Girls can also continue the family line, yes, genetically speaking so they're trying to do what they can there, the I guess the Polly, the biggest rub of China's one child policy is that arm. Reproduction is a basic human right wing governments not supposed to tell you how many kids are now will ever do anything to interfere with your reproduction right right in its also contrary to the will of the people in a two thousand three chinese study,

There were some people who said they preferred one child, that's about thirty. Five percent of the population surveyed math, but fifty seven percent, so they preferred to write, sets directly flies in the face of them. Exactly what's interesting, though, is that there is a huge decrease in preference. Was three children were more like five point. Five percent of the population surveyed said that they would want three kids, so it seems to have picked around two and one of the reasons why China announced recently that it would be another decade before it repealed its ones. Our policy rise because they're afraid of another baby button bright and where they're trying to do is create a small family culture in the country gotcha. But surveys like these suggested that they ve been successful in doing that. My things up, review next year in it no two to two thousand

it's up for review next year, but I dont know if that means anything scan it I'd make. They said this summer in July that it's gonna be another decade before they repeal it, and there are a lot of people after the member the earthquake in such warm province. He killed what like ten thousand kids yeah and I wanna people's only charge your only child, your so long kid and what happens if you were fifty and when your child died right, because you know you wait a long time to get married in you you're. So I'll think government yeah. You know, I know plenty of Americans who think that it's the responsible thing to do not only have one child ever people say that as a human, it's like irresponsible to have two and three kids. These will ya the tall we exact on the environment are adding to the strain on the carrying capacity of agriculture. Supposedly, the agricultural techniques we have now can support a global population of

billion. So we have a little ways to go yet, who knows what happened before then? How much technology will advance my arm? We may turn the soil and green. Who knows? How do you know? There's two women out their walking the planetary now at least two who were sterilised before they overhead it's because they want to see the moment now, they're, both English. As far as in a really I remember, reading about that. Thank you pointed out to me has nothing to do with China's one child policy, so check, doesn't look like the repealing it There is some fitted for those people who were stolen reproductive aid following the earthquake of US kids. They were making it such as by ultimately its. It looks like study the course with the child's either one

a policy might so. If, okay, if you want to read anything more on China's one child policy, you got an article on the site appropriately entitled what is China's one child policy, I'm pretty sure. If you just type in one child, it will come up in the Amy Search BAR Hasta foresight com. In. Let's do listener name Josh's, monsieur Simon, I'm just gonna to call this from us are our young man who had a dream about us?
