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

China’s one-child policy sharply reduced birth rates over time. With fewer young people being born and people living longer, older adults make up a larger share of the population, so the average age has increased. Urbanization and emigration are not the demographic shifts most directly caused by the policy, and the policy slowed population growth rather than increasing it.
