Chinese government is going to ease one-child policy. The policy was first announced 30 years ago. Since all families are only allowed to have one child, the labor-system in China has been affected due to reduce of labor force. As a result, Chinese government is going to ease one-child policy.
This policy was originally announced to reduce poverty and energy consumption in China because most Chinese families could not afford tuition fee for all their children. However, the age structure has largely been affected.
In my opinion, the government is doing the right thing at the moment because the general income level in China is rising now. Consequently, it is not necessary for the Chinese government to reduce poverty by banning second child in a family. Also the labor force is reduced. The ease of one-child policy can gradually offset the reduction in labor force in the long run.
