China has announced a three-child policy to replace the two-child policy that has been in place since 2016. The news comes after China’s once-a-decade census showed that the Chinese population grew at the slowest rate since the 1950s and the average fertility rate was just 1.3 per woman.
The change was approved during a politburo meeting chaired by President Xi Jinping on Monday, as reported by the Xinhua News Agency.
China's Politburo also announced it would phase in delays in the country's retirement ages but did not provide any details.
