A Study On New China's Family Planning Policy And Its Historical Impact

The policy of family planning is a basic national policy of China.Since the founding of the People's Republic of China,the population of our country has increased dramatically.By the 1970 s,the population has exceeded the 800 million mark.Over-rapid growth of the population is very incompatible with the situation of resource shortage,backward economic development and low level of food production in China at that time.The population situation is quite severe.Family planning policy came into being under such a historical background.With the publication of the 1980 "Open Letter to All Communist Party Members and Youth League Members on Controlling China's Population Growth",China began to implement a strict family planning policy,that is,the one-child policy.Family planning policy has a great impact on the economic and social development of our country and on the family and personal life.The implementation of family planning policy has greatly reduced China's population growth rate,promoted economic growth and the improvement of people's living standards,improved the overall quality of our population,especially the huge demographic dividend released by it has played a positive role in promoting the rapid economic and social development in a certain period of time.However,any public policy has its operation cycle,and there are some limitations.With the continuous development of China's economy,society,culture and population,the incompatibility between family planning policy and China's national conditions has gradually emerged.Especially since the beginning of the 21 st century,problems such as the continuous decline of fertility,the shortage of new labor force,the advance of population aging,the high sex ratio at birth,the excessive pressure of intergenerational upbringing and the aggravation of the life risk of the only-child family have become prominent,which hinder the sustainable development of China's economy and society.In recent years,the two-child policy has been gradually liberalized,and the one-child policy has become a history,but this does not mean that its negative impact can be solved accordingly.Population has a far-reaching impact on the economic and social development of a country or a region.As a series of regulations and measures adopted by the government to regulate and guide its population development,population policy has the most direct impact on the population.Therefore,as a large developing country with a population of 1.4 billion,facing the population problems brought about by the long-term implementation of family planning policy,it is urgent to formulate corresponding solutions in time.How to adjust and improve China's population policy in the context of the post-family planning era is particularly important.The text of this paper consists of five parts.The first part mainly introduces the background,significance and purpose of this study,as well as the research status of population theory and population policy at home and abroad;the second part outlines the relevant concepts of family planning policy and the theoretical basis of this paper;the third part combs the changes of family planning policy in China and divides it into four stages;the fourth part,through collection and integration.Based on the relevant historical data and data,the positive and negative impacts of family planning policy on China in different historical periods and social backgrounds are analyzed.The fifth part,aiming at the current population problems in China,puts forward some suggestions on population policy in the post-family planning era.It is hoped that these policy proposals will promote the healthy development of China's population and coordinate population development with sustainable economic and social development.
