Explanation

Answer - A - The long-term demographic effect of the One-Child Policy in China has been a reduction of the total fertility rate below the rate of replacement.

Key Takeaway: The one-child policy is the population control policy put into place by the People's Republic of China. The Chinese government refers to it under the official translation of family planning policy, as it officially restricts the number of children married urban couples can have to one. The policy does provide a few exemptions, including for rural couples, parents who do not themselves have siblings, and ethnic minorities within China.
