Archive - Change to China's One-Child Policy 

Magnum Photographers 

China’s one-child policy took effect in most of the country in 1979 but today, after being relaxed in recent years, it's about to be revised. The economic slow-down, tied with China’s aging population, is forcing leaders to reconsider the 35-year old law and are considering allowing citizens to have two children without being fined.
