China has a total population of 1.2 billion, nearly 20 percent
of the world's total population. Increasing with annual population
of 15 million, China has implemented family planning to control
the population growth. The basic demands of family planning are
late marriage and late childbirth, having fewer but healthier babies,
specifically, one child for one couple. At present, family planning
as a basic state policy is supported by a vast majority of the people.
