Resumen de China's baby steps
China's population had become the largest in the world and among the fastest growing. Its growth rate averaged above 2.5% in the 1960s. The 1970s saw a social shift to later marriage, longer birth intervals and fewer births. Within one decade, the population growth rate had more than halved, from 2.58% in 1970 to 1.16% in 1979. Modern China is entirely different economically, socially and demographically compared with over 30 years ago. In 1980, it was not only the largest country in the world in terms of population, but also among the poorest. Here, Wang talks about why China is highly unlikely to become a two-child society, even after the removal of the one-child policy for all its citizens.
