China's Rising Economy
There is no doubt that China is a rising economy. China's rise in the world economic equation is vital in the world's political matrix. This can be seen in the military prowess and the world influence including the spread of Chinese culture. The high Chinese population which is estimated to be 1.34 billion people is its primary asset in this monumental development. However, the government of China has come up with a population control that limits the number of children per woman to one child per woman. It plays a part in reducing the overdependence. However, the question that has always been asked is what the population structure will look like in the long run and the net effect of population control on the population.
Impact of Population Control in China
The surprising part of the article is the fact that the government of China has purposely controlled the population of China by influencing the number of Children per woman and this has affected the structure of the population of the country. High population is known to provide a market for goods and at the same time provide a human resource which is an important factor of production. However, the very high population may strain the available resources that can result in a demographic dilemma. China as a country has a population which is aged 34.5 years. This is a typical age in most developed countries. China's age of 34.5 years is as a result of a conscious effort by the government of China to reduce the exponential population growth. The population of China is reducing growth and that may not be risky in the economy of China but may finally affect China's economy in the end.
