China Shifts to Two-Child Policy
中國全面開放二孩
The government of China has announced that married couples in China will be legally allowed to have two-child families as of March 2016. China’s one-child policy, which has been in effect since 1980, has prevented approximately 400 million births. In the past 35 years, many Chinese couples have faced fines for having a second child while others have been forced to have abortions. A relaxed family planning policy does not mean that couples will jump at the chance to have larger families. Single-child families are the social norm in China, and many couples cannot afford to have more than one child due to the high cost of living.
中國政府宣布從2016年3月起允許普遍二孩。從1980年至今，中國實行的是計劃生育政策，并控制了約4億人口。在過去的35年中，許多家庭因超生而遭到罰款，或是選擇墮胎。寬松的生育政策并不意味著組建大家庭。在中國，獨生子女家庭已經成為了一種社會模式，由于生活費用增加，許多家庭無能力供養多人。
