China going to give up one-child policy

It could happen by the end of the decade

Foundation "Research of China" issued a report stating that the one-child policy, adopted to slow population growth in the 70 years of the last century, is about to start seriously hinder the development of the country and is now threatened by deep social problems.

Calls for the abolition of one-child policy in recent years, we hear more and more often, but never played with them as serious research institutions such as the "Research of China's development." The fact that it is a branch of a larger research institute which performs research for the State Council (government), shows that this time it is more serious than before, and that the recommendations of the Fund sooner rather than later be heard and accepted.

Population growth in China's 2000-10 fell from 1.07% in the previous decade, to 0.57%. However, the population of China is still the largest in the world and more than 1.3 billion people.

Foundation recommends the immediate introduction of policies of the two children in a number of provinces and spread it to the whole country by 2015. Restrictions should be lifted, according to the study, as long as China's rapidly aging population, the imbalance between the sexes, and the lack of young labor forces began to curb the economy China.

Experts, however, do not expect such a quick repeal. He will certainly be lifted gradually, and the first change, indicating Times, will not happen before 2020.
