What is an ambitious attempt by china to control population growth

One ambitious attempt by China to control population growth was the implementation of the One-Child Policy in 1979. This policy restricted most couples to only have one child, with some exceptions for certain circumstances. The government enforced this policy through fines, forced abortions, sterilizations, and other coercive measures. The One-Child Policy was in place until 2015 when it was replaced with a two-child policy due to concerns about the aging population and declining birth rates.
