The cancellation of the family-planning policy means a transformation of China's population policy and a major change in the field of family law that may even change the new family structural pattern formed in China since the implementation of the one-child policy nearly 40 years ago (Shi & Li, 2020)
There are academic research on fertility policy that focus on low fertility desire of women (Li, Yang, & Liu, 2020)
Summary
The Civil Code of the People's Republic of China was adopted and promulgated at the third Session of the 13th National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China on May 28, 2020 (The National People' s Congress of the People' s Republic of China, 2020). One of the most noteworthy aspects of the Civil Code in the area of family law was the cancellation of the family-planning policy, once the core content of China's family law. The shifting perception of Chinese people's cognition of family and marriage functions as well as the causes of the changes in China's population legislation are under discussion (Yang & He, 2014). Demographic research generally focuses on Marxist population reproduction theory or draws lessons from Western population theory to study Chinese family-planning policy (Chen, 2020; Lu, 2020; Luo & Song, 2020; Zhu, 2020). Studies conducted from the perspective of economics generally analyze the changes and main problems in China's population structure and characteristics, predict the population size and discuss the impact of population structural changes on social and economic developments (Li & Zhou, 2018). There are academic research on fertility policy that focus on low fertility desire of women (Li, Yang, & Liu, 2020)
