The proposals range from subsidies for families raising their first child, rather than just the second and third, to expanding free public education and improving access to fertility treatments.
HONG KONG – Concerned by China’s shrinking population, political advisors to the government have come up with more than 20 recommendations to boost birth rates, though experts say the best they can do is to slow the population’s decline.
The proposals to boost the birth rate, made at the annual meeting of China’s People’s Political Consultative Conference this month, range from subsidies for families raising their first child, rather than just the second and third, to expanding free public education and improving access to fertility treatments.
Giving incentives to have a first child could encourage couples to have at least one child, she said. Many provinces currently only subsidize second and third children. Experts also praised a proposal to scrap all family planning measures, including the three children limit and the requirement for women to be legally married to register their children.
