Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The one-child policy was enforced in China from 1979 to 2015, which limited urban couples to having only one child. This, coupled with a cultural preference for male children, caused a significant gender imbalance, with a higher number of male births than female births. This has led to a shortage of brides in China and other negative social consequences. The other options, Bangladesh, India, and Japan, do not have a one-child policy.
