Population Control in China: State-Sponsored Violence Against Women and Children
The Congressional-Executive Commission on China presents a hearing on China's population control program and the horrible violence the program incurs toward Chinese women and children.
When:
April 30, 2015 2:00pm to 4:00pm
Where
China’s infamous “One-Child Policy” marks its 35th anniversary this year. It has been called the world’s largest social experiment and has had tragic effects on Chinese families and society. Coercive population control policies are also the cause of a demographic time bomb. China has a rapidly aging population, a shrinking labor force, and a dramatic gender imbalance that drives regional human trafficking problems and potentially higher levels of crime and societal instability. China’s central government has started to gently revise its population control policies in the past year, though the overall policy and the huge bureaucracy that enforces it remain intact. When will China finally dismantle its coercive family planning practices? How will history judge the “One-Child Policy?” The hearing will examine the looming demographic, economic, and social problems associated with China’s “One-Child Policy” and seek recommendations on how the international community can assist China to address them.
