Overcrowded Beach, China
|
That's what a beach in a country with the population of 1.34 billion people looks like when it's 35 degrees Celsius.
With a population of over 1.34 billion, the People's Republic of China is very concerned about its population growth and has attempted, with mixed results, to implement a strict family planning policy. The government's goal is one child per family, with exceptions for ethnic minorities and flexibility in rural areas. The government's goal is to stabilize population growth early in the 21st century, though some projections estimate a population of anywhere ranging from 1.4 billion to 1.6 billion by 2025. Hence, the country's family planning minister has indicated that China will maintain its one-child policy until at least the year 2020.
