China's one-child policy to be relaxed

China's Anti-Natalist Policy Gone Too Far?

During the 1970's the Chinese government implemented a one child policy that was aimed to stop over population. However right of now the policy is currently having a negative effect on the country. Though China's population decreased in number, BBC predicts that in 2050 over a quarter of their population will be over 60 years old. This could be a potential problem for their economy. China's work force will be severely depleted. In order to solve this, they are now planning to relax the "one child policy"  by allowing families to have 2 children.
