China allows young couple to have 3 children | China's new policy shift
The authorities in China have announced that couples will be allowed to have up to three children raising the limit from two. It follows census figures showing a steep decline in the birth rate. Five years ago the Chinese communist party had to abandon its own child policy for the nation implemented in 1976 which aimed to limit population growth. The announcement may have looked a little mundane but the news was momentous Chinese women can now have three children. For decades China's one-child policy was brutally enforced with millions of involuntary sterilizations and abortions. It was not only cruel, but it was also a disaster. China doesn't have enough young people to sustain its economy. Hope this new decision could help to overcome this big trouble.
