The One Child Policy was implemented to control population growth in China. It placed restrictions on the number of children a family could have, with some exceptions for rural families, ethnic minorities, and those with disabilities. The policy did not offer any rewards for having more than one male child, nor did it encourage adoption. While the policy did result in a more balanced gender ratio initially, it later led to a gender imbalance due to a preference for male children. While some countries have implemented similar policies, it is generally seen as a controversial approach to population control.
