A panel of researchers from the Monash University, Australia, has published its recent study in the journal Science and the same claims that children who are being brought up under one-child policy of China are not much risk-disposed.

The team has found that these kids are less gullible and are more pessimistic, since they are often over-protected. The conclusion was made once the people born before the introduction of the policy were compared with the ones born after the same.

Lisa Cameron and L Gangadharan with colleagues had conducted the review in urban areas using economic games and surveys. Behavioural and personality traits of all partakers were examined and it was found that people born after the policy's arrival tended less to engage in more risky occupations, including self-employment.

Observing the results, the government has planned an amendment in the law and has begun allowing birth of a second child in certain families. It is being suggested that trust is important in different aspects of life like social interactions, working with colleagues and negotiations in business. Thus, change in the policy is a must.

"We document that China's one-child policy, one of the most radical approaches to limiting population growth, has produced significantly less trusting, less trustworthy, less competitive and less conscientious individuals", researchers were quoted as explaining.
