Chinese society is facing a crucial and thought-provoking question, that is, the current situation and future direction of population development. For a long time, the mainland has implemented a strict family planning policy to control population growth, but in recent years, the two-child, three-child policy has not stimulated the fertility rate as expected.
In this situation, the state began to change its thinking and introduced a "new plan" called Ma Guangyuan, which aims to change the trend of population development by stimulating the willingness to have children through a variety of measures. This article will analyze the feasibility of this "new scheme" from several perspectives.
New directions in population policy
For a long time, the mainland has emphasized population control. However, with the development of society, people began to realize that the population problem was no longer just a matter of quantity, but also a problem of quality and structure.
Therefore, the state began to think about how to change the population policy, paying more attention to improving the quality of the population to meet the needs of society.
Initiatives to stimulate the desire to have children
In order to stimulate the willingness to have children, Ma Guangyuan proposed a series of targeted measures. First of all, strengthen publicity, popularize scientific knowledge of fertility, and reduce misunderstandings and doubts. Secondly, improve the convenience and welfare of infant and toddler rearing, and provide a better child-rearing environment for families.
At the same time, a sound education system is established to provide educational support for families and help them better raise their children. In addition, improving the labour market, raising the income level of families and reducing economic pressure can also help encourage families to have children.
Learn from successful foreign experience
When formulating new plans, the mainland government has actively absorbed successful experiences from abroad. Sweden, for example, has increased fertility through various incentives. The Swedish government provided adequate maternity and parental leave, provided families with high-quality medical and educational services, and created a labour market suitable for family life.
Other countries such as France and Japan have adopted similar policies to promote fertility. China can learn from these successful experiences in formulating new plans and formulate more scientific and effective measures.
Challenges and prospects
However, the new programme also faces challenges. First of all, people's conception of fertility is still relatively conservative, and it will take time to gradually change. Second, the phenomenon of exclusive access to resources for one-child families still exists, and better policy guidance is needed.
In addition, economic pressure is also a barrier to family reproduction. However, with the progress of society, people's concepts will gradually change, and the improvement of the social welfare system will also provide more support for families and create favorable conditions for the implementation of new programs.
In short, with the approval of Ma Guangyuan's new plan, the mainland's population policy has entered a new stage. Through a variety of measures to stimulate fertility intentions, learn from successful foreign experiences, and solve challenges and opportunities, this program is expected to change the demographic development trend of the mainland. However, this is only the beginning, and its effectiveness will take time to verify.
With the continuous development of society and the change of people's concepts, we can look forward to the arrival of a new situation in which the mainland's population development is more active and healthy.
