Huang Xihua suggested liberalizing the family planning policy
In recent years, population issues have been one of the focuses of social attention. With the rapid economic development and social progress, more and more people are paying attention to whether China\’s fertility policy needs to be adjusted. In this context, the famous demographer Huang Xihua put forward a bold and forward-looking suggestion: liberalizing the family planning policy.
China\’s family planning policy has been implemented since 1979, aiming to control population growth, reduce pressure on resources, and improve the quality of life. Over time, this policy also brought about a series of problems. The aging of the population is becoming increasingly serious, labor supply is insufficient, economic growth momentum is weakening, social security pressure is increasing, etc. Therefore, Huang Xihua believes that liberalizing the family planning policy is the key to solving these problems.
Relaxing the family planning policy can effectively alleviate the problem of population aging. At present, China\’s aging problem is becoming increasingly serious, the pension gap is expanding, and the social security system is facing huge challenges. Liberalizing the family planning policy will allow more young people to join the labor market, increase labor supply, and reduce the pressure on old-age care.
Relaxing the family planning policy can stimulate domestic demand and promote economic growth. China\’s economy is facing a transformation from export-driven to domestic demand-driven. The current fertility policy limits the number of children a family can have, resulting in restrictions on family spending power. Liberalizing the fertility policy will increase the number of children in a family, stimulate consumer demand and promote economic growth.
Relaxing the family planning policy can also solve the problem of insufficient labor supply. With the rapid development of China\’s economy, the demand for labor continues to grow, but the supply of labor is increasingly insufficient. Liberalizing the family planning policy will increase the number of laborers, alleviate the problem of insufficient labor supply, and improve the competitiveness of the labor market.
Relaxing the family planning policy also faces some challenges and problems. Relaxing the fertility policy may lead to overpopulation, exacerbating resource shortages and environmental pressure. The implementation of liberalized fertility policies requires corresponding supporting measures, including reforms and improvements in education, medical care, employment, etc., to ensure the comprehensive development of newborns and the sustainable development of society.
So Huang Xihua suggested liberalizing the fertility policy to solve the problem of population aging, promote economic growth and solve the problem of insufficient labor supply. Liberalizing the family planning policy also requires careful consideration and scientific planning to ensure sustainable development and social harmony and stability. Only by comprehensively considering various factors can we formulate a fertility policy that better meets the needs of the times.
Huang Xihua calls for the relaxation of the family planning policy
In recent years, with the rapid development of social economy and the intensification of population aging, the family planning policy has gradually Become the focus of social attention. On this issue, I think we should actively promote the relaxation of fertility policies to respond to changes in demographic structure and the needs of social development.
Relaxing the fertility policy will help alleviate the socioeconomic pressure brought about by the aging population. Today, my country\’s aging problem has become increasingly prominent. Social welfare burdens such as pensions and medical security have increased year by year, while the demographic dividend has gradually weakened. Relaxing the fertility policy can moderately increase the number of newborns, provide more labor and resource support for the future social pension system, and reduce the pension gap and social welfare pressure.
Relaxing the fertility policy will help improve women’s social status and protect their rights and interests. Currently, women often face tremendous pressure and choices between family and work. Many women are delaying having children because they are worried about the impact on their careers, which has led to a gradual decline in fertility rates. Relaxing the childbirth policy can provide women with more choices and opportunities, allowing them to achieve a better balance between career and family, while also better protecting their rights and benefits.
Relaxing the family planning policy will also help promote economic development and social progress. With the advancement of science and technology and the development of society, people\’s demand for human resources and innovation capabilities is getting higher and higher. Overly strict fertility policies limit population growth and limit the release of potential human resources and innovation capabilities. Relaxing the fertility policy can increase the population and provide more impetus and opportunities for social and economic development.
Of course, relaxing the fertility policy must be formulated based on the actual situation and the level of social and economic development, and cannot be blindly laissez-faire. We can learn from the experience of other countries, combined with my country\’s national conditions and development stage, to scientifically formulate fertility policies that are in line with my country\’s national conditions, so as to achieve reasonable adjustment of the population structure and sustainability of social development.
So I support Huang Xihua’s call and advocate the relaxation of family planning policy. Relaxing the fertility policy will help alleviate the pressure brought by the aging population, improve women\’s social status and rights protection, and promote economic development and social progress. We should scientifically formulate appropriate reproductive policies to respond to the needs of social change and development.
