#  One Child Policy's Effects on China's Population 

## Question

* How did the One Child Policy in

1979 affect China’s child population

growth?

* Context: To explain the connection

between the One Child Policy and

child population

## Model

* Parameter: different growth rates

* Linear model (to model growth rates over

certain time periods)

* We read about the history of China’s

population from 1960 - 2015

* We focused on the growth rate because that

is the most relevant to the One Child Policy

## Results

![model](https://github.com/minhkhang1795/ModSimProject1/blob/master/code/model.png)

## Conclusions

* Growth rate was reduced by 3.6% due to the One

Child Policy

* The real child population data does show slight

growth in 1985 and 2009

  * 1985 - Two child Policy introduced in rural areas

  * 2009 - Two Child Policy expanded across China
