when did china's one child policy end
One-child policy The one-child policy, a part of the family planning policy, was a population planning policy of China. It was introduced in 1979 (after a decade long two-child policy), modified in the mid 1980s to allow rural parents a second child if the first was a daughter, and then lasted three more decades before being eliminated near the end of 2015. The policy allowed exceptions for many groups, including ethnic minorities. Provincial governments imposed fines for violations, and the local and national governments created commissions to raise awareness and carry out registration and inspection work.
