THE family planning policy that started in the late 1970s has wrought far-reaching demographic and social change in China. Thirty years later, growing numbers of demographers say that the current low birth rate threatens potential socio-economic development. They therefore advocate the policy be altered to allow all couples, regardless of circumstances, a second child.
