7th+Grade+-+SS+-+Most+Populous+Country

China has been the most populous nation for a long time, with 1.3 billion people. Its population is about one fifth of the earth's entire population. It's population has changed very much since China's first census, an official count of the population, with details as to age, sex, occupation, etc., taken in 1953 where the population was right under 600 million people. There are two social reforms that have made an impact on Chinese society. This is China's "one child" policy and recognition of minority populations. The "one child" policy is a policy that limits couples to having one child. This policy was established by Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping in 1979 to limit communist China's population growth. Possibly, one of every five people in the world are from China. It is slightly larger than the U.S.,but has about four times as many people.The majority of China's people are located in the eastern part of the country. China //is,// and //has been// the most populous country in the world.
