Birth Control to Birth Promotion? China’s Population Policy at a Crossroads

East Asian Policy (EAP), 2019, vol. 11, issue 04, 60-73

Abstract: China officially ended its one-child policy effective from 1 January 2016. Yet the effects of the relaxation of birth control policy have been limited thus far. Largely relying upon policy incentives, China’s policymakers also face pressure to take more direct measures to boost fertility rate. Whether the Chinese government is able to balance the needs of the nation and the citizens’ private rights remains a big question mark.
