4. decline in demographic pressure

Demographic pressure

China is                    . The                                which was maintained between 1979 and 2015 contributed to the demographic ageing.      

Nowadays, you are allowed to have more than one child, but many Chinese, on the contrary, do not want many children, because it is expensive and cost time.

                        

ageing

Increase in the percentage of the population aged 65 or older.

One Child Policy

Policy prohibiting families from having more than one child.

Make notes!

The real Chinese?

• Does the real 'Chinese' exist? Is there one Chinese culture?

• China is a big country, so there are many cultural differences...
• But the Chinese government wants to change this.
• Many minorities live in the West. The government wants to 'sinicize' the west
  Sinicize = 'to make Chinese’
  
  

Make notes!

Ethnic minorities

Make notes!

Ethnic groups live in the west = groups with a different culture
They are a minority

The Chinese government is trying to suppress these cultures and 'Sinicize' the country.
