China to ease longtime policy of 1-child limit
- November 15, 2013
- Wang Feng, sociology professor, is featured in the New York Times November 15 2013
From the New York Times:
If carried through, the relaxation would be the first significant nationwide easing
of family size restrictions that have been in place since the 1970s, said Wang Feng,
a demographer who teaches at both the University of California, Irvine, and Fudan
University in Shanghai. … “This step is really, I think, the middle step toward allowing
all couples to have two children, and eventually taking away the state’s hand,” professor
Wang said. “But this shift is historical. It’s fundamental. To change the mentality
of the society of policy makers has taken people more than a decade.”
