China - Everyone has been limited - both rural and urban - to only have one child, legally. Disobedience of such law is punishable through fines, which is being based on the family's capacity to pay for the allotted fine.

One-child policy was China's stiff answer to the overpopulation problem of the country, decades ago, overlooking its future effects on economic development.

Because of this unusual strict birth control ruling by the Chinese government, a rise of unregistered Chinese individuals who are totally isolated from the Chinese government programs and services is continuing to blow-up in a great number, year by year.

Isolation from the government's eye for illegitimate children has been very hard for the guardians/parents, because of numerous disadvantages that are directly felt by the illegitimate child. Even the very basic rights, like the privilege to be educated, and the right to buy a flu medicine, which requires a legal Chinese identification, would be very impossible for unregistered children.  

The Chinese human rights agency is also alarmed with the rising cases of abortion in the country, which is illegal in the eyes of the Chinese government. But this rising number of birth control outlaws in China may still continue to rise if the one-child policy hasn't been reformed.

Chinese economists also point to this policy as one of the causes for an unstable and a slow grow of the Chinese Economy in the future. Just like western kingdoms (for example: Great Britain) who have already amended their one-child policy after being hit by the negative effect of a fast paced population shift.
