Mao Zedong led an important revolution that brought the communist government to china in 1949. From that rebellion led the new republic of china. 

THE CHALLENGE: rapid population growth 
Mao believed that large and extravagant families would make china powerful, this belief made china's population grow tremendously. Mao in 1958 founded a program named the great leap forward. This programs motive was to make china become the world's modern industrial company.  one goal of "leap forward was to produce steel to do this he ordered everyone to melt their household metals. Another goal was to greatly increase the food production, and to do this they combined smaller farms into large factory farms. One major problem was china experienced another major drought that killed 20 million people due to lack of food. 

THE PROPOSED SOLUTION: THE ONE CHILD POLICY
After Mao's death the government of china began the family-planning program named the one-child policy. This program made sure that for every marriage could only birth one child. the policy is still in effect today. Now though, the families that followed the law get cash benefits. And punishments are less severe.

THE BENEFITS: SLOWER POPULATION GROWTH
Thanks to the One-Child population many benefits have appeared. One benefit is that there is less strain on food and water storages. also there aren't to many workers for to few jobs, therefore many  many people can keep there jobs. Also families have benefits as well. Mothers and babies are healthier in a smaller family. parents have more money to spend on other things. and women have more time for a career
