No, it will lead to a huge population rise. See All Voter(s) Note: Guest voter(s) are not displayed here. The source claims that China is considering whether to adopt a two-child policy within the next five years, ending the three-decade old one-child policy. It is said that the two-child policy might be implemented in five provinces. Experts warn that the country’s 1.3 billion population is becoming dangerously unbalanced. China has few adults of working age but too many of elders. Population Ageing has become a serious issue. Officials concern that ending one-child population could lead to a huge population rise. That’s why China adopted one-child policy since 1979. According to what I know (maybe it is not right), many other countries have the same problem, Negative Population Growth. Young couples do not want to have children even the governments encourage them to do so. Why don’t they want to have children? In your view, should China introduce a two-child policy?

A survey has shown that it costs about RMB490,000 to raise a child on average. That's more than 20 years' of my current income. So I plan to have only one whether the policy will change or not. I'm poor
