Answer 4

I'm not familiar with the two-child policy and I wonder if you are perhaps referring to the one-child policy?

The Planned Birth policy is the birth control policy of the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC). It is known in Western society as the One-child Policy due to its enforced limit of one child per couple in urban areas. Although the policy is controversial both within and outside China due to alleged extreme methods such as forced abortions and other human rights abuses, China's pandemic overpopulation problem stimulated the government to take strong measures.

The term "one-child policy" is based on a popular misconception that the birth control policy of the PRC requires all couples in mainland China to have no more than one child. In reality, though having one child has been promoted as ideal and the limit has been strongly enforced in urban areas, the actual implementation varies from location to location. In most rural areas, families are allowed to have two children, if the first child is female, or disabled. Second children are subject to birth spacing (usually 3 or 4 years). Additional children may result in fines. The families are required to pay economic penalties, and cannot receive bonuses from the birth control programme. They also have to pay for both the children to go to school and all the family's health care. Some children who are in one-child families pay less than the children in other families. In contemporary China however (2005,2006), some exceptions to the rules are said to exist in major cities such as Shanghai and Beijing. For example, (i) two "only child" parents may have more than one child; and (ii) two parents with university Masters degrees may have more than one child.

Moreover, in accordance with PRC's affirmative action policies towards ethnic minorities, all non-Han ethnic groups are subjected to different rules and are usually allowed to have two children in urban areas, and three or four in rural areas; in addition, some couples simply pay a fine, or "social maintenance fee" to have more children. Thus the overall fertility rate of mainland China is, in fact, closer to two children per family than to one child per family (1.8).

The steepest drop in fertility occurred in the 1970s before one child per family was implemented in 1979. This is due to the fact that population policies and campaigns have been ongoing in China since the 1950s. During the 1970s, a campaign of 'One is good, two is ok and three is too many' was heavily promoted.

Recently, the policy has changed because the long period of sub-replacement fertility caused population aging and negative population growth in some areas, and improvements in education and the economy have caused more couples to become reluctant to have children. To solve the one-two-four problem, that is as the one-child policy approaches the third generation, one adult child supports two parents and four grandparents, couples from one-child families are allowed to have one additional child in some areas.
