With a national population of over 1.3 billion, many Chinese cities are densely populated and become overloaded during rush hour. Traffic congestion is one of the consequences of population growth. Streets are full, cars are idling for kilometers. Photo: Daily Mail.

Since the late 1970s, China has controlled its rapid population growth with a one-child policy. Depending on where they live, couples can be fined thousands of dollars if they have more children. Photo: Reuters.

Critics of the one-child policy point to negative social consequences, particularly gender discrimination. The practice of abandoning female babies, which had been common before 1949, gradually returned to some areas shortly after the one-child policy was introduced. By 1986, China had a serious gender imbalance. Photo: Daily Mail.

Then, in 2015, the Chinese government introduced a two-child policy to replace the old law. Once again, the country's population grew rapidly. Here, people crowd the Huangpu River in central Shanghai. Photo: Getty.
