Beijing, 20 Jan (People's Daily Online) -- Today, the National Health Commission held a press conference on the progress and experience and practices of implementing the "Decision of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Optimizing the Birth Policy and Promoting the Long-term Balanced Development of the Population."

For the decline in fertility in 2021, the relevant supporting policies are not effective, Yang Jinrui, deputy director of the Department of Population and Family of the National Health Commission, said that the implementation of the three-child birth policy and supporting support measures is to prevent the further decline of the birth population, promote the realization of a moderate fertility level, and promote the long-term balanced development of the population.

Yang Jinrui pointed out that population reproduction and material reproduction are not the same, the cycle of population reproduction is long, there are many influencing factors, and the factors of fertility decision-making are very complex and involve all aspects. At present, the implementation of the three-child birth policy is not long, and supporting active fertility support measures are also being introduced, and it is difficult to show obvious results in the short term.

"In the next step, all localities and departments will focus on the work of fertility and parenting education that the masses are most looking forward to, launch a series of supporting measures, make real moves, and make hard moves, and further promote the implementation of the central "Decision" and various policies and measures." Yang Jinrui said.
