China's 3 children policy (INTERNATIONAL)
Fears of a growing increasing population limiting economic growth pushed the ruling Communist Party to allow such a few children per married pair. The adjustments follow China's once-every-ten-year population census. During the previous decade, it had a sharp decline in birth rates.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, 12 million babies were born last year, the lowest amount since 1961.
As per Chinese specialists, the following are the primary reasons for fewer children being born:
- growing prices of living
- education
- helping growing old parents.
With the help of the country's pervasive subculture of long office hours, the problem has become even worse. During the many years that the one-child policy was in effect, there was also a societal shift at some point. Many couples believe that one toddler is sufficient, and a handful has stated no desire to have additional children.
Deng Xiaoping, China's previous leader, implemented the one-child policy in 1980. It was in existence until 2016, when fears of an ageing population jeopardizing the economic boom pushed the ruling Communist Party to allow one child per married pair.
Will it help China?
The Chinese government finally permitted two children per spouse starting in 2016. A policy shift that did little to slow the rate of population decline. Despite the 2016 easing, China's population growth rate is rapidly declining, according to statistics from the 2020 census.
According to the Xinhua news agency, the Chinese government has stated that the new policy will include "supportive measures" to "improve our country's population structure, fulfill the country's method of actively coping with an ageing populace and maintaining the advantage, the endowment of human resources."
According to The Hindu, following the release of the census, Huang Wenzheng, a fellow at Beijing's Center for China and Globalisation, told China Global Television Network (CGTN), an official broadcaster, that the ageing crisis "might be the most important challenge the Chinese nation faces in the next century."
