摘要

<正>YANG Wenzhuang,director of the primary level family planning guidance department of the National Health and Family Planning Commission(NHFPC),has announced that the whole country is preparing to implement the new birth policy of allowing two children for families in which either parent is an only child.The policy is expected to come into force in some provinces in the fi rst quarter of2014.Vice Minster of the NHFPC Wang Pei’an commented that the policy adjustment would not lead to a sharp increase of yearly births;by 2020,the population will be below 1.43 billion,peaking at less than 1.5 billion,far behind the country’s long-term projection.
