- dragonwriter 5y ago> Before 2015 they didn't allow more than 1 (one!) child per family. Yes, they did. The strict one-child policy (which still had some exceptions) lasted for about the first half of the 1980s.
- fragbait65 5y agoCurrent news suggest that they are upping the threshold to 3 children trying to stimulate population growth due to needing to increase their available work force in the future. These measures are not as extreme as the last time they stimulated their population growth, which lead to the one child policy. We'll see if they feel that this stimulation is enough or if they will try to increase the incentive even more if they don't feel as if it is enough.
