China has been thrust into what experts call a “demographic crisis”: China is an aging society, with fertility rates falling below the threshold for population replacement. This has been an emergency in slow motion, catalyzed by China’s one-child policy, which was implemented in 1979 to mitigate multidimensional fears of unfettered population growth. Reaching a tipping point, China’s one-child policy was relaxed in 2016, and now the Chinese government is incentivizing having 3 children. This provides a compelling opportunity to examine the role of policy in shaping the future of healthy aging. As society ages, analytic case studies are instructive in considering what can be done to promote healthy aging, within context, using the levers of policy and public health.
For this 2,000-word analytic essay, you will focus on the population impacts on healthy aging of China’s one-child policy. You will address the following:

- Cultural and societal practices
- YOUR potential solutions to foster healthy aging in China, including:
- Policies, the public health system, and other societal structures and practices in the context of Chinese culture
