Question:

Which of the following was not the result of one-child norm introduced in China?

Options:

Low fertility rate

Higher Urbanisation

Relatively higher elderly people as compared to the young people

Lower growth rate of population

Correct Answer:

Higher Urbanisation

Explanation:

The one-child policy was introduced in China in 1979 to curb the country's population growth. The policy was successful in slowing population growth, but it also had some unintended consequences like:

a. Low Fertility Rate.

b. Relatively higher elderly people as compared to the young people

However, the one-child policy did not directly lead to higher urbanization.
