Overview of the second-child policy
In 2013, the draft revision of the \”Family Planning Law of the People\’s Republic of China\” began, gradually relaxing restrictions on family planning policies. By 2015, the two-child policy will be fully liberalized, allowing couples where one parent is an only child to have another child. Although the two-child policy has been implemented for many years, there are still people who do not understand the conditions and restrictions for childbearing. The following is a detailed explanation of the second-child policy from four aspects.
Reproductive conditions
The biggest limitation of the two-child policy is that it must meet the fertility conditions of the \”one-child policy\”. It doesn\’t matter whether there are elders or not, what matters is the situation of the parents. The fertility conditions include: 1. One of the couple is an only child, the other has no children or is an only child or both; 2. Both are only children and one of the spouses has never given birth, and the couple needs to obtain the child from each of the parents of the couple. Select one party to form a \”four-generation family with an only child\”; 3. Two only children get married; 4. A remarried couple after divorce, in which Party A is the only child; 5. The couple had a child together before marriage, but one of them One party is an only child. You must meet these fertility conditions before you can apply for a second child.
Birth restriction
The two-child policy has some birth restrictions that couples everywhere must abide by. Of course, different regions have slightly different implementation standards. These birth restrictions include 1. Age restrictions, women must be under 44 years old and men must be under 60 years old; 2. A marriage certificate must be obtained before pregnancy, and pregnancy under other circumstances is illegal; 3. Those who have already given birth to a daughter A family, or if both children are girls, cannot have a second child even if the fertility conditions are met.
The effect of the implementation of the second-child policy
Since the implementation of the two-child policy, the number of births has gradually increased. The \”National Bureau of Statistics 2019 Data Bulletin\” shows that there were 15.23 million births in my country in 2018, an increase of 440,000 from the previous year, of which 50.7% were born to second children. The implementation of the two-child policy has gradually adjusted the unbalanced birth ratio and laid a good foundation for future social development.
Future Outlook
After the two-child policy was liberalized, the number of births in our country increased, which also gave rise to many social problems. In the future, how to control the number of births in an orderly manner must not undermine family rights, but must also take into account the challenges of an aging population. It is a long-term task in the future to establish a complete fertility reward and subsidy system to provide material and policy assistance to couples who want to have children, and to encourage couples to give birth to healthy and high-quality next generations. At the same time, increasing the number of births also requires complete supporting resources, including the increase and improvement of maternal and child health, education, medical and other resources, in order to form a complete support system.
Summary
The two-child policy is an important reform point in the family planning policy. In less than ten years since its implementation, a relatively complete system and regulations have been formed. Couples who meet the fertility conditions can have a second child, but they must abide by certain restrictions and requirements. In the future, the proportion of population and resources will need to be balanced to form an effectivesequential fertility status. For ordinary people, only after understanding relevant policies and implementing personal obligations and rights can they achieve accurate family planning and avoid unnecessary costs.
