If so，do you enjoy it or do you want more siblings (兄弟姐妹)? On May 31, a key meeting of the Communist Party of China unveiled a policy that would allow all couples to have up to three children. The move is expected to maximize the population's role in driving economic and social growth, since this is a critical time for China to transform the world's most populous country into a powerhouse ( 强国) with a quality workforce, according to the National Health Commission. The three child policy is also expected to prevent the decline in the nation's birthrate and address the challenge of a rapidly aging population, China Daily reported. China's annual number of newborns has fallen for four years in a row. The country's total birthrate- the average number of children born to each woman- stood at 1.3 in 2020. The number is below the rate of 2. 1 that would maintain a stable population, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. The declining birthrate has also brought a sharp increase in the proportion of the population aged 60 or above, rising from 10. 3 percent to 18.7 percent in the past decade. An increasingly elderly population will increase the cost of labor and the pressure on the social security net. It also means there will be a lack of young labor force. Therefore, it's not good for economic growth, according to Chen Youhua, a professor at Nanjing University. In fact, the new birth policy is a step to further relax the family planning policy, The one- child policy was introduced in the 1970s and aimed to control the fast- growing population. Then in 2013, China allowed couples to have a second child if either parent was an only child. And in 2016, all couples were allowed to have two children. However, not all people have shown their support for this latest policy. Many couples complained about the rising cost of raising a child. A netizen named Qinfeng commented.“High cost of education and both the physical and mental exhaustion stopped me from having more than one child.” Also, many women are reluctant(不情 愿的) to give birth because that could mean sacrificing their career prospects, according to Mu Guangzong. a professor at Peking University. In that case, Mu noted that it is better to implement supporting measures with the three-child policy, such as more preferential (优惠的) policies for couples that would ease their parental burden. 24. What might NOT be the main cause for the new policy? A. To improve the child-care service system. B. To stop the declining birthrate. C. To increase the population's role. D. To address the challenge of the aging popula
