China allows three children in major policy shift
China scrapped its decades-old one-child policy in 2016, replacing it with a
two-child limit which has failed to lead to a sustained upsurge in births.
The cost of raising children in cities has deterred many Chinese couples.
The latest move was approved by President Xi Jinping at a meeting of top
Communist Party officials.
It will come with "supportive measures, which will be conducive to improving our
country's population structure, fulfilling the country's strategy of actively
coping with an ageing population and maintaining the advantage, endowment of
human resources", according to Xinhua news agency.
But human rights organisation Amnesty International said the policy, like its
predecessors, was still a violation of sexual and reproductive rights.
"Governments have no business regulating how many children people have. Rather
than 'optimising' its birth policy, China should instead respect people's life
choices and end any invasive and punitive controls over people's family planning
decisions," said the group's China team head, Joshua Rosenzweig.
Also, some experts were sceptical of the impact.
"If relaxing the birth policy was effective, the current two-child policy should
have proven to be effective too," Hao Zhou, a senior economist at Commerzbank,
told Reuters news agency.
"But who wants to have three kids? Young people could have two kids at most. The
fundamental issue is living costs are too high and life pressures are too huge."
On a rainy, bleak day in Beijing I was out buying a coffee when the news broke.
People started looking down at their phones as they beeped and whirred with the
headline flashing across their screens - China to allow couples to have three
children.
This is big news in a country which didn't start suddenly producing more babies
when the one-child policy eased off to two.
In fact, many are asking how a three-child policy might mean more children when
the two-child version didn't and why birth restrictions have remained here at
all given the demographic trend.
Very good questions.
One thought is that, among those prepared to have two children, at least some
parents will have three.
However, I have interviewed many young Chinese couples about this subject and it
is hard to find those who want bigger families these days.
Generations of Chinese people have lived without siblings and are used to small
families - affluence has meant less need for multiple children to become
family-supporting workers, and young professionals say they'd rather give one
child more advantages than spread their income among several kids.
