My info may be out of date, so if contradicted, consider time.  Up until a few years ago, there was a state penalty for having more than one child, so families in rural areas were often let have more children but then penalised. \nIn other areas, you know about forced abortion? even as late as 8 months.  There was a dreadful case of a woman in Australia a few years ago. She came here illegally to try and give birth to her second child.  She was sent back by immigration authorities and the child was aborted just a few weeks before the due date.  Female children used to be killed many years ago so they could still try for a boy.\nI saw a show on t.v. that demonstrated that there is a generation of very spoilt only children amongst inner city professional families and that it is a genuine social concern that when enetering the workforce, these people don't have co-operative skills.\nA bit off your subject but hope it is of interest.

Your hypothesis is plausible, but consider this.  They are a nation of 1.5 billion consumers that gives them some degree of power.  They have the potential of having the world's largest army.  Finally, the communist government is allowing free enterprise in the southern provinces.\n\nAs far as solving their problems peacefully, they have had a civil war since the cultural revolution.  Your research should have clued you in one the ethnic cleansing during the reign of Moa Tse Tung.  Regarding wanting people to immigrate.  If that is true, why do they have the one child mandate?  Is not overcrowding a major problem there?

This is what I found on the site noted below.  There is a lot more info if you want to look it up.\n\n"Children between the ages of three to six go to kindergarten. There they study language, math, singing, and painting and participate in sports. However, because there is a shortage of room, many children do not get to participate in pre-school education. But, because of the importance placed on education, that is changing.\n\nAfter kindergarten, the educational system is broken into three stages. Primary school, secondary school and then the university. Primary school is required and last for six years. Although in the more rural areas of China, the schooling is always enforced.\n\nWhile in primary school, the students are exposed to math, Chinese and one foreign language, English or Japanese. These are the main subjects, however they covered is Biology, music, art, politics, history, physics, chemistry and geography.\n\nOnce they complete with their primary school education, an exam is taken before they proceed to the next stage � secondary school. This also lasts for six years, broken down into middle and upper school. A student will go to middle school for three years, upon which another exam is taken before proceeding into upper school. The student who completes the middle school stage may then proceed into vocational colleges.\n\nPrimary and middle school is required, but from here on they have the choice to quit or continue their education. Within the vocational schools there are three types: technical secondary schools, vocational high schools and skilled worker�s schools. With technical schools the idea is to create managerial personnel for the front line of production. With vocational high schools, the training is focused on certain professional skills. Lastly are the skilled workers schools.\n\nThese are for bringing about technical workers. Essentially, a vocational school allows a student to study technical, teacher training or agricultural courses. How well they do with the upper school education depends upon if they can meet the university entrance requirements, which are known to be difficult and demanding.\n\nThe highest level of education that one can receive in China is a university education. This is something that is offered to a small amount of Chinese. For instance, in 10,000 students only 18 will be offered a university education. The main study at universities is in humanities and science, although there is an interest in architecture and engineering. However, the emphasis is usually placed on scientific and technical education.\n\nOnce the students finish with their university education, it is up to the authorities to find them employment. Also, on a small scale, is the emergence of post-graduate study. Today, China has a post-graduate education system in place."

Usually the family lives in poverty.\n\n"Fertility industry takes off in China; doctors concerned about abuses\n(AFP)\n\n29 March 2005 \n\n\n\nBEIJING - It is considered a slow day at the Peking University Third Hospital in China’s capital, but the fertility clinic’s waiting room and hallways are overflowing with women seeking help.\n\n\nSome have travelled far from the countryside, where an infertile woman is looked upon with pity. One young woman’s husband divorced her after she failed to conceive three years into the marriage. Others, including urban career women, appear too ashamed or embarrassed to speak.\n\nSlowly but surely, barren women in China are realizing there is hope out there and they do not have to helplessly suffer the intense stigma of being childless in a society that places supreme importance on having kids.\n\n“In China, the responsibility is often placed on the women. In the past, couples who can’t have kids either adopt or divorce,” says Qiao Jie, director of gynecology and obstetrics at Third Hospital, China’s biggest authorized fertility center and its first to produce a test-tube baby.\n\n“Now, more and more people are becoming open to fertility treatment. There are more than 200 reproduction centers in China, but this is not enough to meet the demand.”\n\nUnmonitored sector\n\nStatistics from China’s Ministry of Health indicate more than 3,000 test-tube babies, or babies conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF), have been born in China since the country’s first successful case in 1988, according to state media.\n\nDoctors such as Qiao, however, believe many more such babies have been born through IVF or other fertility treatment, such as inter uterus insemination as well as fertility drugs.\n\nThe industry is believed to be huge.\n\nStatistics are hard to come by because the sector is largely unmonitored, but more than 10 million Chinese families need artificial fertilization, according to Xinhua news agency.\n\nMany of them are undergoing fertility treatment, which is much more affordable in China than overseas.\n\n“There’s a huge demand,” says Zhao Lixin, deputy director of the reproduction center in east China’s Shandong Province Hospital.\n\n“There is a Sino-US joint-venture hospital in Shanghai which treats more couples than any other in China. Just that hospital alone probably helped conceive 3,000 babies.”\n\nIncreased public awareness is one key reason spurring couples to seek treatment.\n\nInfertility in rise\n\nChinese women, like women in Western countries, are also delaying marriage, although not by as long, leading to problems becoming pregnant.\n\nStressful and unhealthy lifestyles linked to China’s dramatic socio-economic changes -- including obesity, drinking, smoking and environmental problems -- have also hiked infertility rates, experts say.\n\nMost experts believe the percentage of Chinese couples suffering from infertility is rising and is around 10 percent of total couples.\n\nIn China, the success rate for fertility treatment -- measured by whether the women get pregnant -- is around 35 percent for IVF, on par with Western countries, doctors say.\n\nIt costs around 3,000 yuan (361 dollars) to have an assisted insemination -- insemination of sperm into the ovary -- and 20,000 yuan (2,400 dollars) to have in vitro fertilization, where the egg and sperm are fertilized in a lab, with the embryo then inserted into the woman.\n\nThe price tags are prohibitive for most people -- worth several or many times their annual salary -- but an increasing number of Chinese families are able to afford treatment.\n\nCapitalizing on the demand, many unauthorized clinics with ill-trained doctors and inadequate technology have popped up.\n\nOne-child policy\n\nLicensed hospitals say the government needs to step up regulations of the industry not just to prevent people being duped but also to stop abuses -- such as couples using fertility treatment to b

Because traditionally, the Chinese men take care of their elder parents, where the females get married & go help take care of her husband's parents. So the boys are a security blanket for the parents when they get old.\nI was told last week that the current rate of boys to girls in China is 4 to 1. So unless the girls want to take on multiple husbands, China will have a shortatge of future boys AND girls here in about 20 years!

I advise you ask this again under China section, or under music. Maybe they can help you further better. :)

The government is unfortunately less inclined towards preventing problems, such as overpopulation, and more inclined towards fixing current ones, such as providing food for the ten children in a family.  I definitely hear what you're saying though, and I think a tax benefit should be given as incentive for not having children.  Talk to your congressman.  Unfortunately, though, I doubt you'll make any progress on this problem under the current administration.

You want studies about parental involvement in transition of people with Downs Syndrome in Phillipine or Asian settings?\n\nWow, that's a little narrow, in my opinion! You might consider expanding your search criteria.

First, child labor is a fact of life, as it means the difference between hunger and food. If the parents are affluent enough, the children need not work but that requires the parents being able to earn sufficient to support the family. All parents want their children to be educated and prosper, but the hard reality is that much of the world lives at poverty or border-line poverty and the kids have to pitch in. I live in Asia and child-labor is common, but it is not the sweat-shops where illegals are literally chained to their jobs. It is more of a family effort to keep the wolves from the door. One boy I know rises at 5 am and plucks chickens until 8 am then hurries home to get ready for school...and gets no pay, but his family has managed in this way to send two others to the university. His turn will come because of the family effort and child labor...he is 11 years old. They are paid about 20 cents US for each chicken and universities are not cheap. Do-gooder attitudes are fine if you have money. As we say in China, 'No money, No talk'. Even aged grandfathers and grandmothers take part in making ends meet. Middle-class morality is a luxury that few of the third world countries can afford.

Its possible, China's record on human rights is appalling.  The trade in human organs has been happening for years I'm afraid to say.  Often its impoverished locals who are persuaded to sell their organs to tourists who come to the country for transplant.  It happens in India so it may well be happening in China too.

China is breeding itself into non-existance.\n\nWhy?\n\nWell, for years and years and years, they have had a rule about having a MAXIMUM of children per couple limited to 2. In China, males are better then females, more respected then females, and so, when they are limited to 2 children, they choose boys. If the wife is pregnant, and they find out it is a girl, more often then not they aborted the pregnancy.\n\nNow, that is coming full circle as there are way more men then women in China.\n\nIt's getting harder to procreate.\n\nAs for the other two... Yeah. I ain't touching it.

I think you have to ask yourself - are you talking about a CA state policy or a county policy or a school district's policy?\n\nOnce you narrow that down, you might want to ask again (and don't require it to be popular - that makes people think they have to agree to it, and there is lots going on in CA that we don't necessarily like).\n\nAll I could think of is laws, not policies - like the ability for mothers to drop off their babies within the first day to hospitals etc. so that there are fewer babies killed or left for dead...\n\nHope this helps.
