This article was written by Swati Gupta on January 21,2019. India is the second most populated country,China is the first, and they want to put a 2 child policy into place.If this bill is passed, then people would have to ask for permission if they want to have more than two children; however, if they don't have a good enough reason then they could be denied.Since there is a law already put in place stating that people have free speech and reproductive rights of couples, the 2 child policy may not happen.
It is almost hard for me to believe that people have to consider this when talking about their country. It also reminds me of China's one child policy that was in place up until 2015. After that, they went to a two child policy, and now they want to remove birth restrictions because of the increasing aging population and decreasing birth rate.I hope India continue to test out more options before going to the 2 child policy right away.
I think the most effective & ethical way to try and slow population growth is to give women more opportunities, education, and access to birth control
