China to Broaden Two-Child Policy in 2 Years, Adviser Says

Updated on

All Chinese couples will be allowed to have a second child in two years, said a researcher who advises the government on birth control policies.

“We will fully relax the policy” in two years after an experiment allowing some couples to have a second baby, Cai Fang, a vice director of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the government’s research arm, said in a brief interview yesterday after a speech in Beijing. “People wish to choose the number of children they want to have, and they should be given the choice, at least for two children.”
