Abstract
Over the past decades China has experienced a steep fertility decline to 1.3 per woman in 2020. Politicians claimed that family planning policy played a key role and Sociologists attribute this to the conservative/liberal welfare system. In response to low fertility, since the early2010, government has gradually relaxed and even abandoned family planning policy. The effect of selective two-child policy on fertility may be not desirable. Considering the very low fertility rates in Confucian societies, the future prosperity is dependent on rural areas having large population with friendly attitudes towards fertility.
