पर्याय

• Hum Do Hamare Do campaign participation

• Delayed marriage until age 30

• Complete abstinence from reproduction

• One Child Norm

Answer 1

The One Child Norm was voluntarily adopted by many urban, working-class couples as a population control measure. This practice, while not legally mandated in India (unlike in some other countries), emerged from educational awareness and economic constraints among educated, economically active populations. The adoption of this norm by voluntary choice among specific demographic groups represents a cultural shift toward smaller family sizes driven by lifestyle and resource considerations.
