As long as they are legal couples, they have the right to have a second child and are no longer restricted by the "one couple, two children" policy or the "two only couples, two children" policy.
China's family planning policy has been in place for 35 years since the implementation of the one-child policy in 1980. Compared with the initial concerns about a "population explosion", China's population situation has undergone a historic transformation today. Problems such as low fertility rates, an aging population, an imbalance in the sex ratio, and a decline in the proportion of young people have become a consensus. With the implementation of the birth control policy, the fertility rate has continued to decline. According to the data from the sixth national census in 2010, China's fertility rate that year was 1.18. If the underreported data is included, the academic community generally believes that it is still below 1.5, far below the world average of 2.5. China has been addressing the imbalance in the sex ratio for 13 years but still has not brought it back to the normal range.
Under the influence of traditional concepts and other reasons, the "one-child policy" has led many parents to "selectively have children", eventually resulting in an imbalance in the male-to-female ratio. Nowadays, the full implementation of the "two-child policy" can greatly reduce the occurrence of this problem.
2. Alleviating population aging: The decline in the fertility rate inevitably leads to population aging and high aging, which has a direct impact on the financial sustainability of the social security system. Opening up the two-child policy can alleviate the problem of population aging and reduce future social risks.
After the implementation of the two-child policy and the increase in national fiscal expenditure, the country will face a series of problems encountered in population growth. The macro levels such as environmental carrying capacity, fiscal expenditure and the public welfare system will face pressure as the population increases.
2. Increasing the burden on individuals and families: In today's era of high prices, raising a young child to adulthood requires a huge expense. The relaxation of the two-child policy is a practical issue that ordinary families have to take into account.
The above is the information collected by the editor of Legal Express about the conditions for the 2022 national two-child policy, the optimization of the fertility policy and the phased relaxation of the two-child policy. This does not mean that the family planning policy will be abolished or abandoned. First of all, the family planning policy and the one-child policy are not synonyms. Moreover, looking back, the one-child policy was a makeshift policy choice made under specific historical conditions.
