Successes:
After this policy was issued in China, the insane increase in the population was put to a stop. The birth rate went from 30% down to 10%. The population increase rate went from 40% (1960) down to 11%(2011) . China’s economy improved from poverty and famine to the best economy in the world.

Failures:
One of the major failures of this policy is the ‘little emperor syndrome’. Couple with only one child tends to spoil them and treats them like an ‘emperor’, thus the name. Because the parents know that they can never have a second child, they have even more reason to spoil their child. Many Chinese children are spoiled and are used to being treated like a king and that may be a problem leading into adulthood.
Consequences:
There has been many consequences to this policy. One of the major consequences is the violation of basic human rights. According to a 1968 proclamation of the International Conference on Human Rights, "Parents have a basic human right to determine freely and responsibly the number and the spacing of their children.”
Some people, even with the policy still gets pregnant with their second child. Under these circumstances, the Chinese government hunts them down and forces the women to abort the child, no matter what stage pregnancy they are in.
The balance between young people and old people is tipped. There are many more old people than young people, and that
may effect the country’s development.
The favoritism between female and male have increased. In ancient days, people in China favored the men more than the women, because men could work and make money. After the One Child Policy, the favoritism for men is growing and there has been increasing gender inequality in China.
People are truly dumb and selfish in the grand scheme
let the future generations suffer and deal with it. (is not how we want or think, but it's how we live and act today)
We do this in more ways than just over populating. The entire aspect of societies today is fuck the future and live for the moment. Climate change, Economies, Population are all going to fuck the world's next generation. Because no one wants to bite the bullet now.
UN Report: 1 Million Animal And Plant Species At Risk Of Extinction. Due to climate change and over population. We all pump out far too much toxic chemicals. The effect on food prices is becoming a problem, the effect of health is a problem and getting worse. Worldwide obesity has nearly tripled since 1975. It's now a major killer in some countries. But not killing enough to reduce populations.
The value of Economies are bleated out by politicians over and over again. The only result is the working classes and middle classes are getting larger and squeezed so the upper class get rich.
The countries at the top are already facing severe food shortages and unless the nations at the bottom are prepared to pay for the food the top nations require. 100 Bob Geldofs won't save them. http://worldpopulationreview.com/cou...ertility-rate/ The problem will start to hit people in the West as Automation removes more jobs than the population grows. Importing migrants from poor countries will be a huge problem as the migrants and residents see jobs disappearing. Already the problem is the number of people n work and the level of wages can't raise the taxes to support the unemployed and low paid.
