Parents in
China may be permitted to have second child from as soon as the end of this
year as the one-child policy which has been in place for 35 years has created
numerous social issues such as a high dependency ratio, labor shortages and a
sex-ratio imbalance, according to the country's National Health and Family
Planning Commission.
A new
policy may allow couples where one or both partners are themselves an only
child to have a second child. The former option would allow more people to have
second child than the later.
From 2007,
couples where both partners are only children have been allowed a second child.
Certain rural areas in several provinces have implemented a
"one-and-a-half-child policy," which means parents whose first child
is a girl can have another child.
A number of
government bodies have been commissioned to study a two-child policy since
2007. The research team led by Zhai Zhenwu, professor of Renmin University's
school of society and population, recommended allowing a second child in
families where one parent is an only child, starting in China's northeast and
Zhejiang province in 2011, and then expanding the regulation to cover Beijing
and Shanghai, and then the whole country by 2015.
Others led
by Cheng Enfu, director of the Marxism Research Institute of Chinese Academy of
Social Sciences, want to see the one-child policy retained in all cases, except
where the first child has special needs. They want an absolute ban on people
having three children and encourage couples not to have children at all, with
the goal of reducing China's population to less than 500 million.
Many
officials oppose both policies and have expressed their concerns that loosening
family planning policy will lead to a rapid increase in population, adding to
existing environmental, resource allocation, urbanization, employment and
standard of living issues.
The
second-child proposal has been delayed but resurfaced recently, though no
concrete details have been announced. Officials have repeatedly said that
family planning policy will remain in place but the one-child policy can be
changed.

“… 3 - Longer Life is Going to Happen, But…
Here is one that is a review. We keep bringing it up because Humans don't believe it. If you're going to start living longer, there are those who are frightened that there will be overpopulation. You've seen the way it is so far, and the geometric progression of mathematics is absolute and you cannot change it. So if you look at the population of the earth and how much it has shifted in the last two decades, it's frightening to you. What would change that progression?
The answer is simple, but requires a change in thinking. The answer is a civilization on the planet who understands a new survival scenario. Instead of a basic population who has been told to have a lot of children to enhance the race [old survival], they begin to understand the logic of a new scenario. The Akashic wisdom of the ages will start to creep in with a basic survival scenario shift. Not every single woman will look at herself and say, "The clock is ticking," but instead can say, "I have been a mother 14 times in a row. I'm going to sit this one out." It's a woman who understands that there is no loss or guilt in this, and actually feels that the new survival attribute is to keep the family small or not at all! Also, as we have said before, even those who are currently ignorant of population control will figure out what is causing babies to be born [Kryon joke].
Part of the new Africa will be education and healing, and eventually a zero population growth, just like some of the first-world nations currently have. Those who are currently tied to a spiritual doctrine will actually have that doctrine changed (watch for it) regarding Human birth. Then they will be able to make free choice that is appropriate even within the establishment of organized religion. You see, things are going to change where common sense will say, "Perhaps it would help the planet if I didn't have children or perhaps just one child." Then the obvious, "Perhaps I can exist economically better and be wiser with just one. It will help the one!" Watch for these changes. For those of you who are steeped in the tradition of the doctrines and would say that sounds outrageously impossible, I give you the new coming pope [Kryon smile]. For those of you who feel that uncontrolled procreation is inevitable, I encourage you to see statistics you haven't seen or didn't care to look at yet about what first-world countries have already accomplished on their own, without any mandates. It's already happening. That was number three.….”
