Incentives for those who adhered to China's one-child policy included preferential treatment in housing, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities. Some families were also given cash bonuses, priority in the allocation of resources, and other benefits.

Consequences for not adhering to the policy were severe and included fines, job loss, housing eviction, and even forced abortions or sterilizations. Families who had more than one child often faced financial penalties, known as "social compensation fees," which could amount to several times the family's annual income. Additionally, children born in violation of the policy were often denied access to government services such as education and healthcare.
