In response to the results of the 2020 census, China introduced a three-child policy in May 2021 after Chinese mothers gave birth to just 12 million babies in 2020.
After China revised its two-child policy, the Population Foundation of India said those who have been demanding that India should enforce limits on the number of children should realise their suggestion is misplaced.
China’s one-child policy was rolled out in 1980 and was strictly enforced with various punishments before being replaced by a two-child policy in January 2016 and a three-child policy in May 2021.
