A política de filho único: os impactos da medida na população feminina chinesa (1979-2015)

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to analyze the impacts of the implementation of China's One-Child Policy on the Chinese female population from 1979, the year it was implemented, until 2015, when it was repealed. Among the many possible approaches to this analysis, a gender lens was chosen to identify the consequences of this Chinese public policy on the lives of millions of women and girls at a time when China was booming. To do this, we will look at concepts that are related to the thematic focus of the work, such as Population Policies, Sexual and Reproductive Rights and Women's Human Rights. The work will be carried out using qualitative research, seeking to understand and investigate the object of study. The research will be exploratory in nature and the procedures adopted for its construction will be bibliographical and documentary research. In order to achieve the research objective, we will analyze the consequences of the One-Child Policy implemented in China from 1979 to 2015 for women's reproductive rights and the hypervaluation of the male gender in the country. What emerges is that the gender stigmas and asymmetries noted in society in general were reinforced with the implementation of the One-Child Policy
