Abstract According to the National Population and Family Planning Commission of China, in 2010, China's population was more than 1.34 billion people, an increase of 5.84% in comparison with the year of 2000. However, the figure was lower than its estimation (the officials was given a number of 1.4 billion in 2010 China's population). It could be said that China's population growth has been slowed slightly, despite China is still the world's populous nation for so many years. Many opinions tend to think that it is the great result of China's one -child policy which was introduced in 1979. To find the answer, we need to know main points of the policy which will be introduced in my paper.
I also present the advantages and disadvantages of the policy and that would be the most important part in my study.
