Question

which of these is a demographic shift that has resulted from chinas one-child policy?

• increasing average age
• urbanization
• reduced emigration
• population growth

Explanation:

The one-child policy restricted birth rates, leading to a smaller younger population relative to the older population. This imbalance causes the overall average age of the population to rise. Urbanization, reduced emigration, and population growth are not direct demographic shifts from this policy; in fact, the policy slowed population growth.

Answer:
