Abstract: The population problem has always been a fundamental, overall and strategic issue faced by the human society. While China's family planning policy has promoted China's economic development and social progress, the "two-child" policy failed to receive satisfactory result. Confronted by China's low fertility rate, efforts must be done from many aspects to spur population growth: establish the National Population Security Council, strengthen the selection and appointment of population policy makers, strengthen the family values, adopt incentive measures to increase fertility, and so on. The "two-child" policy has been carried out for more than three years, and the policy is still facing the test of time. China's "two-child" policy is still a transitional policy, and the final solution will be to abandon birth control.
