Never heard of the One Child Rule? Because China's population is quickly increasing, and not enough food and material will be ready for that many in the future, China implemented the One Child Rule. What this does is that every family can have one child and that child will be completely covered by the government in terms of health care and all that stuff. They are allowed to have more children, but those other offspring aren't covered by the government. However, this rule does have one drawback. Since males have always been concived as a stronger sex (partly because China is so agricultural and boys do most of the farm work along side the father), couples tend to want boys instead of girls. This has caused an imbalance in the gender population in China.
