Impact of China's One-Child Policy

The NY Times reports on a recent study that looked at the one-child policy enacted there in 1979 ("Study Measures Impact of China's One-Child Policy"). The research indicates that children born after this policy was enacted are less trusting, less trustworthy, less competitive and more risk-averse than older children. What are the implications of this for future generations? Does this have any implications for children in other parts of the world?
