PRESSURE ON HOUSING-not enough housing so many people live in slums, very common in places such as new deli. Issues with slums and shanti houses are; no running water, sewage systems and roads

China encourage the 'one child policy' due to its growing birth rate. Heres how they did it

-longer maternity leave -cash bonuses -better child care -incencetives for having just one child -easy access to contreception - -young people delaying marriage - presure for abortion for unauthorised pregnancies fored sterelisation to couples who have more than one child

IT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL, JUST NOT IN RURAL AREAS due too it not being as forceful

PROBLEMS

-lots of single spoilt boys, lots of olde people who will put pressure on these children when they become economically active -not enough workers for its increasing developed country

WHY DID THEY INFORCE IT

encouraged 3 or more children to help the population grow to support a ageing population

HOW IT WORKS

-cheap nurseries - acess to best schools -incentitives for having 2 children - counselling to discourage abortions -encourage immigration of child baring age

open door- allowing anyone to come into that country

quotats- limiting amount of people that come in each year

skills test- migrants are tested to see how skilled they are and how qualified

EU MEMBERSHIPS- ALLOWS all people who are part of the EU to migrate to another EU country

-helps address under population and jobs which most people within the country do not want to do

-pay tax - add to talent and culture

TENSIONS -pressure on housing, health care and jobs  discrimintation as people beieve they take adv of benefits -
