Abstract

This article reviews and analyzes the historical evolution, implementation background, and main challenges in policy transformation of China's family planning policy, and explores its far-reaching impact on population structure, economic development, and social culture. With economic and social development, China's population is facing new challenges: on the one hand, the reduction of the working-age population is weakening economic vitality; on the other hand, the aging problem has caused increased pressure on social security and medical systems. In addition, the increase in one-child families has increased the support burden of the younger generation. In recent years, the country has gradually adjusted its fertility policy and successively introduced independent two-child, comprehensive two-child and three-child policies. However, the policy relaxation has not significantly increased the fertility rate, reflecting deep-seated problems such as high childcare costs, employment discrimination, and shortage of educational resources. Still exists. To deal with this complex problem, this article combines literature and data analysis to put forward various policy suggestions, including abolishing birth restrictions, improving childcare and social security systems, promoting equal employment for women, reducing education and medical costs, etc., to establish a supportive fertility system. social environment. This article believes that comprehensive reforms will help optimize the population structure, promote sustainable economic and social development, and provide a reference for other countries to deal with similar challenges.
