Although the policy has had many positive effects on the country, it has had some negative effects as well. One example is infanticide.
The Chinese have a tradition of large families. The sons carry on the family name and produce grandchildren who will continue to carry it.
Since many rural families prefer sons, infanticide is fairly commonly committed to kill baby daughters. Either that or the girl is sometimes given up for adoption, despite the higher birth limit in these areas. Some local hospitals in less developed areas offer to abort female babies. For couples to avoid having second children, couples with a child already are strongly recommended to have an IUD inserted. Other forms of birth control are also preferred, although abortions are legal and highly encouraged as a last minute means of ridding oneself of an unauthorized baby. In addition, couples must receive a birth coupon giving them premission to have a child before pregnancy. An unauthorized birth causes high fines, usually exceeding the family income. This child is also not counted as part of the population and is thus not eligible for medical care, school, and employment.
