Why was the one child policy enforced?

the one child policy is controversial bcause there is alot of so many people can have more than 1 child just try not to let the government know about it they have another sectretly

It is something that is enforced by the government and most feel that the govenment has no right to control how many children you should have. For example, in China, if the government found out that you were having another child be it your boss contacting the gov't or a neighbor, you could be pulled out of your home and taken into custody and given a forced abortion. There is a great documentary that just came out specifically about this subject from either the discovery channel or national geographic. It's worth checking out.
