It was a BBC online news article about China's one child policy. It never occurs to me that beside aiming to reduce the country's population size, another effect it has is to produce generations of children who are ensured to be well-educated and grow up to be successful. Me as the only child myself, has always realised that it is true if you are the only child..then your parent only spend their money on you ..thus to some people it may appear that you are 'richer', which can apply to both materialistic side or just chances to do things that you enjoy. If you have many siblings, then of course your parents must have split their incomes to accomodate all of you..

However, yeah it never struck me that if a country limits its citizens to only having one child, or even two the max..it does make sense if it will improve the health and educational well-being of each child. As the parents' financial income will only be used to brought up 1-2 children and not more.
I love my parents.
