The aging population-yuxuan

Three things I have found out:

1. Just like China, Singapore has a two child policy. It is a government-imposed limit of two children allowed per family. It aims to control the population growth and achieve their optimum population.

2. China's one child policy was introduced in 1979 to reduce birth rates in China due to the rapid population growth. The government in China encourage couples to only have one child to slow down China's rapid population growth by rewarding the couples who follows the policy and punishing those who don't.

3. People living in rural areas tend to give birth to more children as they depended on their children for support. So the one child policy is more strictly enforced in rural areas compared to the urban areas.

Two perception I have gained:

1. Huge population does not benefit everyone in the country. It is more like majority poor and less educated working for the minority of rich people. Huge population means intense competition among jobs, schools and educations.

2. Every policy has its benefits and disadvantage to the country. 

One question I have:

 Does large population size really contributes to the economy of a country?

Economy - Aging Population (Reflection)

3 things that I found out:

- I found out that policies that restrict population growth may have negative impacts and implications in the long run.
- I found out that these policies have been implemented to control a fast growing country, especially for countries with large populations.
- I found out that these policies might cause uneasiness among the people and cause complaints between the people.

2 perceptions I have gained:

- With less people, more people will be able to attain jobs as there will be less competition.
- With a smaller population, the government will be able to build better infrastructure as there will be more money put aside to build infrastructure.

1 question that I have:

- Why did people have so many children before the policies were implemented?

Introduction Of Myself

Introduction OF Myself. (200 WORDS)

Hi! My name is Khoo Jia Le. My Chinese name is 古家乐. I asked my mother before if there was any meaning behind my name and they said it was because of the phrase “家庭快乐”. I live in Woodlands and my Primary School is Woodlands Primary School. My family consists of me, my mother, my father, my younger sister and my grandparents. I like to play electronic games. My favourite subjects are Mathematics and History. My CCA is St. John Brigade. At first, I detested CCA as I didn’t know why I was in St. John Brigade when I didn’t put it as one of my CCA choice. But now, I am starting to enjoy CCA as I find it quite fun sometimes. My ambition is to become a lawyer or a successful businessman. I am looking forward to OELP as that is the time where I could go overseas with my class and have no parents controlling me. I am very lazy and therefore, I detest having homework over weekends as I would usually procrastinate and do it only last minute.

Thank You for reading my post and Thank You for your attention. Thank You.

Yours sincerely,

Khoo Jia Le.
