The process of liberalizing the implementation time of second child
On January 1, 2016, my country officially implemented the comprehensive two-child policy. The implementation time of liberalizing the implementation of second child requires multi-party negotiation, and various factors are intertwined. The following is a detailed explanation of the process of liberalizing the implementation time for the second child in four aspects.
Needs of national economic development
Under the previous \”one-child policy\”, as China\’s population gradually aged, the labor force decreased, which put considerable pressure on economic development. As time goes by, letting go of having a second child has become a general trend. At the National “Two Sessions” in 2013, Yang Xiaochao, a representative of the National People’s Congress, suggested in his proposal to “free up the second child and support childbirth”, which attracted widespread attention. Since then, national leaders have participated and spoken out one after another, calling for the relaxation of restrictions, and the liberalization of second children has become an inevitable historical process.
Changes in social mentality
With the improvement of living standards and the rapid development of society, people\’s concepts are also constantly changing. The change in fertility concepts is one of the main reasons why the implementation of the second child policy has come early. From \”more children, more happiness\” to \”less birthrate\” to the current \”two-child family\”, people\’s concept of fertility has evolved from the traditional concept of \”having more sons is happiness\” in the past, and has developed in the direction of health, equality and civilization. This also laid the social foundation for the implementation of the two-child policy.
Improvement of public service capabilities such as medical care and education
To liberalize the second child and realize reproductive autonomy, the public service system also needs to assume more responsibilities. From the perspective of public service systems such as medical care and education, are public service capabilities sufficient to cope with population changes? A series of sound policies and social systems are needed to support it. Therefore, before the implementation of the policy, the government increased investment in infrastructure construction, expansion of education and medical resources, etc., to fully prepare for the implementation of the comprehensive two-child policy.
Overall strategy for economic and social development
How to better achieve balanced economic and population development to support and promote the realization of the overall strategy is also one of the considerations for liberalizing the implementation time of the second child. In order to more smoothly achieve a more harmonious, stable and prosperous society, accelerate the adjustment and optimization of population structure and other aspects, ensure the overall size and quality of my country\’s population, and strive to promote new urbanization, the government has adopted a number of economic and social development measures overall strategy.
Summary
The implementation time of liberalizing the second child policy has gone through many negotiations and the interweaving influence of many factors, and has gradually become an inevitable historical process. From four aspects: the needs of national economic development, the change of social mentality, the improvement of public service capabilities such as medical and education, and the overall strategy of economic and social development, liberalizing the second child is in line with the general trend. Whether the government has formulated a complete plan has Very important role. In the process of liberalizing the second child policy, the government needs to actively invest, strengthen the construction of the public service system, increase investment, and ensure the reasonable needs of families and the healthy growth of children.
