Changes in population policy

1. From the founding of New China to 1969, the population policy has undergone a transformation from encouraging fertility to restricting the germination of fertility ideas, and then to criticism and stagnation. After 1949, the birth peak came, the national production and life recovered from the war, the total fertility rate exceeded 6, and the population grew rapidly. The 1 census in 1953 showed that the total population of China had increased from 450 million before 1949 to 600 million, which attracted the attention of the government and the idea of birth control began to sprout.

2. From 1970 to 1980 With the end of the "Cultural Revolution", the implementation of the family planning policy has gradually returned to the right track, and the birth restriction policy is gradually taking effect. From 1949 to 1969, the population of China doubled in just 20 years, which also promoted the rapid advancement of the family planning policy.

3. From 65438 to 0980-2000, the family planning policy was further implemented and the policies and systems were gradually stabilized. Affected by the policy, people's concept of fertility has changed obviously, and the fertility rate has dropped to the replacement level and continues to decline. 1980, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China published an open letter on controlling population growth in China in party member magazine. The "one-child policy" has basically taken shape, and the family planning policy has become an important part of the country's drastic reform and has been promoted to the height of the basic national policy.

4. Since 2000, people have noticed the possible negative effects of rapid population changes, reconsidered the birth control policy, and the family planning policy has once again entered the adjustment channel. Since the 1990s, with the fertility rate below the replacement level, the demographic transition has been completed and the demographic structure has begun to undergo major changes. In 2000, the aging coefficient exceeded 7%, making it an international standard aging country, and the labor supply reached its peak in 20 1 1 year. In order to adapt to the new changes in the population situation, it is an inevitable choice to improve and adjust the birth policy.
