current events

  1. What's being discussed in this article?
They are discussing the debate on if the one-child policy in China is worth keeping or if they should get rid of it. Researchers have underestimated the fertility rate of women and they would actually like them to increase the number of kids women have. They also compare policies for having children with China's policy and what's better and what's worse.
  1. When did the event happen? (Is this breaking news or something that's been analyzed and discussed for a while?)
This has been an ongoing topic since the 70s, although they have more recently been questioning the one-child policy more in depth.
  1. What questions do you have that would help make this article make more sense to you? What more do you need to learn about to be able to report on this event?
What are they planning on doing about the situation?
How are they going to go about convincing people that they can have more babies/ have less babies?
Why does China care so much about the fertility rate of the women?
Why would it take so long to go into effect?
