Question 7 • CMS 2026-2027 World History: Issues and Patterns CREDIT RECOVERY

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

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

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.
