The "baby law" in China refers to the country's policies regarding the number of children families are allowed to have.
Historically, China's baby law was primarily defined by the one-child policy, but this has changed. Here's a breakdown:
-
The One-Child Policy (pre-2016): For much of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, most Chinese families were restricted to having only one child.
-
The Two-Child Policy (2016-2021): In late 2015, Chinese officials announced the end of the one-child policy. Beginning in early 2016, all families were allowed to have two children. However, this change did not lead to a sustained increase in birth rates.
It's important to note that specific regulations and enforcement of these policies could vary by region and demographic group within China.
