The population control policies (One Child, etc) passed decades back have begun to have a negative impact on the Chinese population. While effective at slowing the overpopulation issue, a lack of young people and an increasing gender imbalance are creating issues with healthcare and a diminishing workforce. It will be interesting to see how this recent information will shape future policymaking.
