China's fertility support policies transformed from birth-focused to valuing parenting and reducing childbearing costs, enhancing societal development.
The article looks at how China's policies have changed in the past decade to support having more children. They studied national and regional policies to see how they have evolved and improved. Their analysis shows that over time, the focus has shifted from just encouraging births to also supporting parents and families. The policies now aim to make raising children easier by reducing the costs and enhancing the value of parenting. Instead of just caring about the number of births, the focus is now on improving child-rearing conditions. The researchers believe that to have effective policies, it's essential to consider the whole family, society's needs, and how gender plays a role.
