Due to the outstanding amounts of people contained in a single country, lead to an extreme lack of natural resources and degradingly low standards of living. Along with the huge uproar of unemployment rates and the drastically falling literacy rates the country was in dire need of some plan to get itself back on its feet.

The thought of controlling the country?s population systematically hadn?t come across the minds of the diplomatic leaders of China, but as soon did the communist party come into power was there an annual quota for the amounts of births allowed in the country.
