China Pushes Forward Family Planning Work. Physical check-up for only child in Yuxi County, Yunnan Province. A number of production teams in this county began issuing living allowances to male peasants, above 65, and females, above 60, in 1980. This helps to do away with the old idea of "raising more children for support when one is old." 90 percent of young couples there have received the "one-child-family certificates." Medical workers have paid great attention to child care to ensure the healthy growth of children. Photo by Zhou Zhongyao
