What was the purpose of the one-child policy? How might the policy end up having the opposite effect

Question- What was the purpose of the one-child policy? How might the policy end up having the opposite effect

Answer- Even so, there is one bright spot in the statistics: 51 percent of the births in 2017 were to couples who already have a child, proving that many who can have children are eager to have larger families.  For some, though, the idea of having more children could prove a difficult sell. As Bloomberg notes, "High living costs, long work hours and surging child-care expenses mean that many couples feel that they can only afford to have one child. One job recruitment site, found that 33 percent of women had their pay cut after giving birth and 36 percent were demoted."
