China enacted the policy that consisted of allowing only one child in each family. This still allowed for population growth, but at a markedly slower rate than before. This policy was passed by the government in the 1970s and has been successful in keeping China’s population at a sustainable growth rate. Some unintended consequences of China’s population policies include forced abortions, involuntary sterilizations, and an unbalanced sex ratio.

The World’s population increased in the 20th century because of advancements in industry, agriculture, industry, science, medicine, and social organization. The Club of Rome which was comprised of international economists and scientists attempted to specify the limits of both economic and population growth in relation to the capacity of the planet to support them. As the world's population has increased it had had many impacts on the environment. Pollution levels had greatly increased in response to the increase of population and animal habitats and species greatly decreased.
