Difficulties in the Implementation of the Chinese Government's Comprehensive Second- Child Public Policy
| Resumo: | As China's basic national policy, the one-child policy has been in place for over 30 years, and the population has been effectively controlled. However, with the development of society, the implementation of this policy gave rise to problems such as the decline in the fertility rate, the sharp decrease in the working age population and the worsening of population aging. Since implementing the second child policy in 2016, the number of births has increased by 1.3 million compared to 2015. However, since then, the policy's effect has not been obvious. The focus of this thesis was to analyze the factors that hinder the implementation of the second child policy in China. There was also an analysis of the implementation of the second child policy in the various provinces of China. For this analysis, official documents from the central government and provincial governments were collected and analyzed. The results show that the government only advocates increasing the fertility rate, but does not encourage it, and provincial governments have difficulties in implementing the second child policy due to local laws and regulations. As factors that hinder the implementation of the second child policy, personal factors (late marriage, career development, increased costs, cultural aspects and physical factors) and social factors (which include resources from public services, such as education and health care). |
