Family planning policy and second childbirth
As a long-term policy implemented by the Chinese government, family planning aims to control the number and structure of the population and promote the development of the national economy. Under this policy, families who want to have a second child need to meet certain fertility conditions. So, how long is the interval between family planning before having a second child? This article will answer it from four aspects.
1. The development history of family planning policy
The family planning policy has been implemented by the Chinese government since the early 1970s. At that time, the government was facing huge population pressure. In order to control the population size and structure and promote economic construction, it implemented the family planning policy of \”later marriage, later childbearing, and fewer children and more children.\” Later, in order to increase the fertility rate, the policy was adjusted many times. For example, in the 1984 policy, rural couples were allowed to have a second child, and couples with urban household registration were required to pay high social support fees. In 2015, the country issued a new family planning policy that allowed all eligible couples to have a second child. At the same time, institutions such as the Family Planning Commission were abolished and family planning work was integrated into the Health and Family Planning Commission. Therefore, now, eligible couples can apply to have a second child.
2. Interval time requirements in family planning policy
According to relevant regulations issued by the National Health Commission, eligible couples can apply for another child two years after the birth or abortion. This means that the two children must be separated by more than two years, otherwise it will not comply with the policy. In addition, when applying to have a second child, couples need to go to the local Health and Family Planning Commission for review, because both spouses must meet the following conditions: be Chinese citizens, married, and within the duration of the marriage; the woman is under 49 years old, and the man is under 49 years old. Be under 54 years old; the two children must be more than two years apart and meet the requirements for birth control measures. If you meet the conditions, you can get a maternity license.
3. Policy interpretation and precautions
Generally speaking, policies have become more relaxed, achieving the goal of \”universally having two children\”, allowing parents to have more room for independent choices as their economic conditions and quality of life gradually improve. However, applicants still need to pay attention to the following matters: it will take a certain amount of time for the child to be reviewed by the Health and Family Planning Commission two years after the child is born, and applicants need to pay attention to the time arrangement; the birth certificate is valid for one year and should be protected; if both parties have When you are over 40 years old, it is recommended to consider a suitable birth rhythm to avoid excessive impact on the physical health of the couple.
4. Influence of economic and social factors
After the family planning was liberalized, the issue of second childbirth has received wider attention. Many couples choose to have a second child at shorter intervals, which is closely related to family economics, social concepts and other factors. For example, some families take their age into consideration and hope to have one more child if they have enough time; some families take their family\’s financial situation into consideration and hope to complete their birth planning quickly while their income is relatively stable. However, some families still have the problem of having children at will. This practice not only affects the health and quality of life of the children,The negative impact can also easily lead to a series of family conflicts and social problems. Therefore, when giving birth to a second child, it is still necessary to strengthen the promotion and guidance of relevant knowledge so that couples can plan their birth more rationally.
Summary
Family planning is a long-term policy implemented in China. In order to control the population size and structure and achieve economic development, the policy has been adjusted many times. In 2015, the Chinese government relaxed its fertility policy to achieve the goal of \”universally having two children\”, giving parents more room to make independent choices under better economic conditions and quality of life. However, when having a second child, you need to pay attention to policy requirements and take into account the impact of family economic and social factors. We must carefully plan our births, follow birth policies, and gradually form a stable and healthy birth rhythm.
