Question:

We know that the population growth rate is low in China when we compare it with India and Pakistan, what do you think is the reason behind the same?

Options:

Awareness about various contraceptives

Government incentives for less children

Introduction of one-child policy

All of the above

Correct Answer:

Introduction of one-child policy

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3: Introduction of one-child policy

The primary reason for the lower population growth rate in China compared to India and Pakistan was the introduction of the one-child policy in 1980. This policy significantly reduced birth rates by limiting most families to one child. The other options are not as significant in explaining the population growth differences between these countries.
