China made the 1 child policy in 1979. The goal of this was to control population growth. If people followed this act, they received benefits like education, and health care.
If they didn't follow this, all of that was taken away. As a result of this policy, many children have ended up abandoned, put in orphanages, and homeless.

Economy

China's economy isn't in such a great place at the moment. Their stock market crashed, their manufacturing rate has gone down, and there is a huge housing bubble because the government is too focused on having a high gdp. They price the apartments too high so no one can afford them.

Poverty

China's poverty line is set at 6.3 yuan a day. This is close to 1 dollar in US money. About 10.2% of people living in rural areas are below this line.

Problem being solved: the economy's housing bubble.

One way the Chinese government could easily solve the housing bubble, is stop pushing for such a high gdp. Sure, it looks good, but what's the point of building all of these new apartments if no one can afford to live in them? They could also lower the prices, and give the people in poverty a loan if they choose to live in them. Then, when the people in poverty have a good job going(like working in the malls because there will be more people living in the area to keep them going), they can pay off the loans and have a nice place to live. Therefore solving the issue of ghost towns, and the housing bubble.

As a result of deforestation, Cambodia has lost over 12,600 km of forest over the course of 12 years. They've gained some of it back (a little bit over 1000 km) but have lost about 7.1 percent of the country's forests total.

Cambodia's transportation infrastructure was damaged and neglected during years of fighting. It's getting better but public transport is limited to buses, as there is no subways in the country. There are also poor road conditions in Cambodia.

Economy

Cambodia's per capita income was as low as $946 in 2012. This is a result of the Cambodia government refusing to give the workers a higher pay. This has resulted in workers protesting for higher salaries.

Problem to solve: the social-deforestation

Cambodia has days devoted to tree planting. But what good are those couple of days here and there doing? They have lost 7.1% of total forests. In the US every time you cut down a tree, you plant one. Sure it might take longer, but that's what's good for the environment. Unfortunately if Cambodia tried to do that for all the km of trees they have lost, they'd be doing it for years. But if they start now at least they would be doing some thing.

The current population of Bangladesh is approximately over 160 million and will exceed 200 million within 2020. This is a very big problem as Bangladesh is a developing country and is very small.

Rural and urban poverty

About 80% of Bangladesh's population lives in rural parts. Many live in places that they don't have any education, doctor clinics, good roads, and food security. They also might suffer diseases.
In urban areas, 37% live below the poverty line. These people don't have electricity, are limited to health care, and don't have clean drinking water.

Infrastructure

Bangladesh 's infrastructure industry is one of the most underdeveloped in the world, a factor which has slowed economic growth in the country.
Surrounding countries are trying to help, but Bangladesh needs the government to be able to ensure basic infrastructure and regular support.

Problem to solve: rural poverty

If people living in rural areas don't have the doctor, schools etc. nearby, why don't you just build some of those close to them? Of course that all leads back to infrastructure which they just need the government to be willing to comply with the help they need.
