Question – Why China’s population growth rate has sharply declined as compared to India and Pakistan?

Answer –

In Spite of being the most populous country in the world, China’s population growth rate (0.47%) is lower than India (1.7%) and Pakistan (2.5%). The reason behind the lowest growth rate of population is the “One Child Policy” introduced by China in 1979. It has successfully reduced the rate of population growth from 1.33 % in 1979 to 0.64% in 2005 and further 0.47% in the recent past.
