摘要

Fertility in China was long constrained by the One-Child policy enacted in 1978.Over time the policy was progressively relaxed,first in rural areas and then for couples who both had no siblings.A Selective Two-Child policy which started in January-June 2014 allowed a second child for couples for whom one spouse was an only child.Now with the Universal Two-Child policy,as of January 2016 all couoles are permitted to have two children.
