does china still have the one child policy 
no china reverted to a two child policy after its one child policy ended in 2015 and the restrictions were gradually loosened before its official end 3did china s one child policy increase its economic growth there s a chicken or egg quality to any answer china s one child policy by initially reducing population growth could have contributed to economic gains by creating a larger working age population relative to children which would have boosted productivity and savings however it s also the case that countries with increases in national wealth tend to have population growth that slows down thus the increase in economic growth in china may have helped reduce the number of chinese newborns over this time not the other way around whatever the case the long term effects of these demographic shifts from about 1979 to 2015 include a shrinking labor force and a greater proportion of the population that is retired posing challenges for continued economic growth and the social safety net
