Why might rural people have had more trouble accepting the one-child policy than city people?

Rural people may have had more trouble accepting the one-child policy due to their strong cultural ties to traditional family structures, where larger families are valued for agricultural labor and support in old age. Additionally, rural areas often have less access to education and information about the policy's implications, leading to greater resistance. Economic reliance on larger families for farming and community roles further complicates acceptance, as rural households may feel more threatened by restrictions on childbearing.
