Birth rule could be relaxed in China.
The rapidly aging country is now considering easing family
planning rules, not at once but region by region or city by city.
Only parents who themselves are an only child have been
allowed to have another child in China. Now, their average fertility rate stands
at as low as 1.7, well below the replacement level of 2.1, their demographic
and gender balance is in trouble, especially for the young males who are having
difficulty finding their mates because many parents prefer to have a boy
instead of a girl and as a result, there are much fewer young females than young
males in China.
The question is, those who are allowed to have a second
child will be willing to have another ones?
Enjoy reading and learning how the most populous country is
trying to manage its population and demographic balance.
