Possible Ways to Help Raise China's Fertility Rate

Abstract

This paper explores the reasons why the current problem of fertility reduction in China is mainly due to the unclear future family planning of women and young people and the incomplete inclusion of the responsibility of raising children in their future planning. By comparing the three types of countries in the world - backward countries, developing countries and developed countries - as "three small islands" and comparing the welfare they provide to their citizens, as well as their demands for different productive forces and human resources, we gradually determine the orientation of China and its future development direction. Finally, by citing and learning from the fertility policies of Japan and South Korea, the article gives several feasible plans to help China raise its fertility rate. With mild encouragement and some financial support, young families can be helped to settle down in their plans to start a family.
