Population Distribution

1. 1953 Chinese leaders suggest that the population should be controlled and approve a law on contraception and abortion, but the plan is later stranded by political upheaval and the 1959-61 famine. 1970 China's population exceeds 800 million. 1975 China adopts the slogan "late, long and few", encouraging couples to have one child, and urging them to have no more than two. 1979 The Communist party says couples should have no more than one child. A new marriage law says couples are obliged to practise family planning, placing a de facto limit of one child for each family. 1984 China adjusts the policy, allowing a second child for some families in rural areas and for couples who were both an only child, and in some other specified circumstances. 2001 New laws decreed to better manage the administration of the policy, including penalties for unapproved births. The laws allow local government to impose fines for additional children. 2013 China adds an exemption allowing two children for families in which one parent, rather than both, is an only child. 2015 One-child policy scrapped, allowing all couples to have two children for the first time in more than three decades
