Are you the only child in your family? Have you heard of"the two﹣child policy(政策)"?
Everyone knows the one﹣child policy. It is a population control method. Chinese government aimed to control the increasing population at that time. Many Chinese couples understood thatand followed this policy for nearly 40 years. Everyone should be responsible for our country.
However, as time goes by, some problems appear in our society. At present, these problems are many about:
● The number of the workers changed from about 960 million in 2010 to 940 million in 2012. The number changed to 930 million in 2014 and will possibly fall by 29 million by 2020.
● China is now getting into aging(老龄化)society.There will be more old people in the following years. But the society will be short of doctor and nurses to take care of them.
● The population of China will be become smaller and smaller if one﹣child policy continues. It's the basic reason that leads to the two problems above.
That's why Chinese government began the two﹣child policy on January 1 st,2016. It allows each family to have two children. The government expects it can help solve those social problems gradually. This policy will help offer enough workers in the future and prevent our country from entering the aging society. It is reported that will be around 2.5 million newly﹣born babies each years.
