Chinese citizens have to endure tiring queues, traffic jams, and other problems resulting from overpopulation.

| Since the late 1970s, China has controlled its rapidly increasing population through a one-child policy. Depending on where they live, couples can be fined thousands of dollars for having more children. (Photo: Reuters) |
 |
| Critics of the one-child policy focused on negative social consequences, particularly gender discrimination. The abandonment of female infants, a practice prevalent before 1949, gradually resurfaced in some areas shortly after the policy came into effect. By 1986, a severe gender imbalance had occurred in China. (Image: Daily Mail) |

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