Are You Ready for China's Three-child Policy?

On the eve of Children's Day in 2021, the "Three-child" policy was introduced! For forty years, China has been trying to slow down the birth rate through control. First there was the One-child Policy, one of the strictest family planning regulations in the world, and then it was loosened to a Two-child Policy in 2016 due to the ageing workforce and a stagnant economy. Given that the 2020 Census showed that China's population was growing at its slowest rate since the 1960s, China was once again making significant changes to its population fertility policy to encourage people to have three children, five years after the "comprehensive two-child policy" was implemented.

2021年“六一”儿童节前夕，“三孩”生育政策出台了！四十年来，我国一直试图通过控制来减缓人口出生率。  先有世界上最严格的计划生育法规之一——"独生子女政策 "，后又由于劳动力老龄化和经济停滞，在2016年被放宽为 "二胎政策"。鉴于2020年人口普查结果显示，中国的人口增长速度是1960年代以来最慢的，所以国家在“全面两孩”施行五年后，中国人口生育政策再次进行重大调整，鼓励大家生育三个子女。

Three-child Policy is Significant

三孩政策意义重大

China's total population is huge and the ageing of the population has deepened in recent years. Further optimising the fertility policy, implementing the policy that a couple can have three children and supporting measures are conducive to improving China's demographic structure, implementing the national strategy to actively cope with the aging population and maintaining the superiority of China's human resource endowment.

我国人口总量庞大，近年来人口老龄化程度加深。进一步优化生育政策，实施一对夫妻可以生育三个子女政策及配套支持措施，有利于改善我国人口结构、落实积极应对人口老龄化国家战略、保持我国人力资源禀赋优势。

But having three children can be stressful for most families. The stress roots from the rising cost of living and how women balance childbirth and employment, so the state needs to improve the relevant laws and regulations and introduce relevant supporting policies to support the implementation of this policy.

但是三孩对于大多数家庭来说，压力都比较大，比如生活成本的上升，女性如何平衡生育和就业，所以需要国家完善相关的法律法规，出台相关配套政策来支持该政策的实施。
