Actually it is said that since the law has been in place for so long, there is a stigma that it is bad to have more than one kid, so it is not projected that there will be an instantaneous jump in the population.
People didn't abide by it anyway, they just had to get by on enough for their one child. Then the illegal child couldn't get a job or leave the country (due to their illegal status) so they were stuck living under their parents rooves indefinitely. The population was, and will be, the same but perhaps now at least those people will be able to get jobs or leave the country and actually contribute to society legally. And, you know, be treated like actual human beings.
