On July 21, Yu Xuejun, deputy director of the National Health Commission, answered why the three-child policy was implemented.
Yu Xuejun said at the press conference that we have a national population census once every ten years. We have fully investigated the population, quality, structure, distribution and other aspects of the population, accurately reflecting the trend of current population changes. It provides us with the most comprehensive and authoritative population data support, which also verifies the results of our series of studies and a series of judgments over the past few years.
The main considerations regarding the implementation of the three-child policy and supporting support measures at this stage are, on the one hand, to alleviate the decline in the fertility level, actively respond to the risks caused by the continued decline in the fertility level, promote the realization of an appropriate fertility level, improve the population structure, and respond Aging population.
On the other hand, it is to continue to consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation and the building of a well-off society in an all-round way, and to promote the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.
It can be said that the implementation of the three-child policy and supporting measures is to further adapt to the new situation of population development and promote high-quality development.
Based on the basic national conditions of our country, the Party Central Committee focuses on the overall situation and long-term development of modernization, and takes into account multiple goals. The major decisions made are also in an orderly connection with the comprehensive two-child policy and are once again perfecting and optimizing the birth policy.
