one-child policies
Singleton family mandates
One-child policies are government regulations limiting families to a single child, most associated with China's policy enforced from 1980 to 2015.
Such policies typically use financial penalties, reduced benefits, or social pressure to discourage additional births.
The term now appears in debates about population control and reproductive rights: Critics argued the one-child policy led to gender imbalances.
