Question 20 • World History CR

Which of these is a demographic shift that has resulted from China’s one-child policy?

Answer
A
population growth
B
urbanization
C
increasing average age
D
reduced emigration

Explanation

China’s one-child policy limited the number of children many families could have. Over time, fewer births and longer life expectancy meant that older people made up a larger share of the population, increasing the average age. Population growth and urbanization have other causes and are not the demographic shift identified here.
