Will NPC deputies suggest implementing a policy of encouraging fertility and encouraging people to "let go" of fertility?

On February 18, 2008, the National Health and Family Planning Commission publicly replied to the National People's Congress's "Proposal on Solving the Population Decline in Northeast China", in which it was proposed that the Northeast region could make an in-depth analysis of the suggestions mentioned in the proposal. Suggest that the country take the lead in fully liberalizing the birth restriction in Northeast China? Explore. Prior to this, the 14th Five-Year Plan was proposed? Optimize the birth policy and enhance the inclusiveness of the birth policy? . 202 1 1 20, the national people's congress asked all localities to clean up outdated family planning laws and regulations and stop imposing excessive punishment. Under a series of positive signals, the total fertility rate in China has been declining in recent years, and the aging situation is grim. According to the data recently released by the Ministry of Public Security, the number of newborns registered in public security organs in 2020 is * * * 10035000, which is significantly lower than 1 179000 in 20 19 years. Last year, the media reported that the Minister of Civil Affairs wrote that the total fertility rate in China has fallen below the warning line and the population development has entered a critical turning point. ?

In Liang Jianzhang's view, the main reason for the negative population growth in Northeast China is the long-term low fertility rate, and the trend of negative population growth is likely to continue. Full liberalization of childbearing is not enough to reverse the trend of negative population growth in Northeast China. Not only should it be fully liberalized, but also policies should be introduced to vigorously encourage fertility. ? From a national perspective, the population situation is also not optimistic. The comprehensive two-child policy was promulgated in 20 15, ending the one-child policy in China for more than 30 years. However, five years after the implementation of the two-child policy, the effect does not seem obvious. ? In recent years, housing prices have risen too fast, the cost of raising children is high, professional women are faced with the dilemma of promotion or having children, the floating population is large, and the policy of discriminating against children born out of wedlock has led to a decrease in China's desire to have children in recent years. ? Liang Jianzhang predicted that the population of China will enter negative growth in the next two or three years. ?

Judging from a series of signals, full liberalization of childbearing should not be far off. ? Liang Jianzhang said that simply liberalizing fertility in an all-round way cannot effectively increase the fertility rate, and a policy of encouraging fertility is needed. It is suggested to give families with many children about 1 10,000 yuan per child per year to directly reduce the purchase price of families with many children. In order to encourage childbearing and subsidize housing, Northeast China can take the lead in trying out these measures. Regardless of immigration, once the population of a country or region is below the replacement level for a long time, it will continue the negative growth trend unless the fertility rate can rise above the replacement level in the future. However, at present, it is unlikely that the future fertility rate in Northeast China will rise above the replacement level, so the trend of negative population growth in Northeast China will continue with great probability. ?

The National Health and Family Planning Commission not only replied to NPC deputies' proposal on solving the problem of population decline in Northeast China, but also replied to other NPC deputies' suggestions on releasing fertility. Clearly put forward by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee? Enhance the inclusiveness of the birth policy? After that, Shen Chunyao, director of the Legal Affairs Commission of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), made a report on the record review in 2020 at the 25th meeting of the 13th the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC). One of the tasks is to require all localities to comprehensively clean up relevant laws, regulations and normative documents in the field of population and family planning. In my opinion, the full liberalization of childbearing should not be far off. However, simply liberalizing fertility can not effectively improve the fertility rate, and policies need to be introduced to encourage fertility.
