Chinanews, Beijing, May 8 - According to the speech made by Zhang Weiqing, the director of the National Population and Family Planning Commission of China, at the Population Science Forum1 recently, China might face a risk of birth rate bounce in the future.
In some areas of China, particularly rural areas, early marriage is still quite common, which is against the family planning policy of the state. Besides, the local goverments of some places have loosened the exercise of the family planning policy these years, not to mention that China is witnessing a new baby boom, since the first generation of single children born in the 1970s and 1980s have had their babies or will have babies soon. Current policy allows them to have two kids, which will push the birth rate to rise in the near future. Worst of all is that many rich people and celebrates have had more than one child, which has raised a sharp problem of equality in regard to the exercising of the family planning policy. In fact, the birth rate of several densely-populated provinces and autonomous2 regions in central and western China has already started rising. "The government guarantees that the single-child families will be first benefited in the future for their contribution to the practice of the family planning policy, " said Zhang. "Now, we are studying the relationship between building ecological3 barriers and population growth."
