<h4>Give Birth To A 3rd Child, Get $890</h4>
<p><strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/">OpenLife Nigeria</a></strong> reports that following the over 400 million averted births in China since the enactment of One-Child Policy, the country has technically reversed itself through incentives to encourage more births.<br />
To achieve this, the government, from 2016, allowed all married couples to have a second child.<br />
In like manner, Beijing said in 2021 that it would allow couples to have three children.<br />
To encourage more births, local governments have since 2021 rolled out incentives, including tax deductions, longer maternity leave and housing subsidies.<br />
That year, Beijing also banned private-tutoring companies from making a profit from teaching core subjects and offering classes on weekends or holidays. The industry had charged exorbitant prices.<br />
Other steps<br />
China&#8217;s National Health Commission in August last year urged central and provincial governments to increase spending on reproductive health and improve childcare services nationwide.<br />
China&#8217;s state council said last year it was rolling out new measures to encourage flexible working hours and the option to work from home for employees with children.<br />
The State Council said last year that local authorities must offer preferential housing for families with multiple children such as providing bigger public housing apartments.<br />
Shenzhen, a city in southern China, gives couples having a third child or more an <a href="https://www.premiumtimesng.com/">annual allowance of over 6,000 Yuan ($890)</a> until the child turns three.<br />
In Jinan, the capital city of China&#8217;s Shandong province, mothers who have a second or third child can receive a monthly subsidy of 600 Yuan until the child is three.<br />
China&#8217;s population fell last year for the first time in six decades, a historic turn that is expected to mark the start of a long period of decline in its citizen numbers with profound implications for its economy and the world.<br />
The eastern Asia country reputed to have the world&#8217;s most populous country, with a population exceeding 1.4 billion, (2021) slightly ahead of India had implemented a one-child policy from 1980 to 2015 in response to government concerns about the social and economic consequences of continued rapid population growth.<br />
The policy, which limited families to one child, was strictly enforced with violators fined and mothers often forced to have abortions. It resulted in many gender selective abortions due to a historical and cultural preference for families to have boys.</p>
