Beijing [China]June 19 (ANI): China is considering ending childbirth restrictions by 2025 after discovering that population growth is slowing, the report said.

The country was able to completely lift childbirth restrictions at the end of the government’s current five-year economic plan, the Wall Street Journal told. In May, China’s National Bureau of Statistics discovered that the country’s fertility rate fell for the fourth consecutive year from 2016 to 2020.

The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is reported to have seen the world’s sharpest decline in fertility since 1950. Source TWJ said China would begin to relax restrictions on areas with the lowest fertility rates before moving to other states.

China’s population is aging due to policies that sterilize women, force abortions, impose fines, and give prison time to those who violate childbirth rules.

Despite last year’s changes, China has produced less newborns than any other year since the severity of the famine and recent economic growth, with per capita income less than half that of neighboring South Korea, according to the Washington Post. Reported.

Earlier, in a CNN article, some experts questioned why Beijing did not completely abolish the birth limit. The reason may be Xinjiang. Ben Westcott, who wrote to CNN, said China has restricted parents because of Beijing’s attitude towards ethnic minorities, especially those in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

The Chinese government has rigorously enforced family planning policies against a minority in the Far West states, where Beijing has been accused of genocide against the majority of Uighurs Muslims. The crackdown plunged the local fertility rate by a third in 2018. According to experts, Beijing is reluctant to remove all quotas for the number of children per family for several reasons.

But one key factor is that ending the policy justifies Beijing’s attempt to limit the population of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and other regions with large minority groups that tend to have more children. It’s much harder to do.

Moreover, maintaining fertility control in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is not the only reason the Chinese government maintains a limit of three children to its family. Experts said Beijing was reluctant to find a new role for the tens of thousands of people hired by the government to oversee the country’s large-scale family planning policy.

China’s fertility rate has fallen sharply since the introduction of a one-child policy that limits couples to one baby more than 40 years ago to alleviate poverty and stop the population boom.

As China developed, the policy successfully curtailed fertility, but in recent years authorities have been concerned that China does not have enough young workers to continue to support economic growth.

In the face of a vital crisis, the Chinese government relaxed its policy of allowing two children in 2016, but many couples in the Hanzhong class are due to the high cost of raising their families, especially in cities. Hesitated to have multiple children. By 2020, the birth rate fell by almost 15% year-on-year. (ANI)
